"Wouldn&amp;#039;t it be nice to take a food photo that also captured the aromas? You may be able to do that soon. Zhu Jingxuan, a junior at the Fashion &amp;amp;amp; Art Design Institute of Donghua University in China, won the &amp;quot;most fun&amp;quot; award from Sony&amp;#039;s annual Student Design Workshop for her &amp;quot;food printer.&amp;quot; Her device essentially inhales the scents of food and releases similar fragrance onto the postcard as it prints. Thus, Zhu created the world&amp;#039;s first food-scent camera.   More From Delish: The Most Authentic Ethnic Food in the U.S. The invention has three parts: a camera, a printer, and the &amp;quot;smell extractor&amp;quot; \u2014 an aroma sensor also called an electronic nose. The &amp;quot;nose&amp;quot; analyzes the smell in front of it and simulates the scents using different aroma inks that are stored inside the printer. The printer then uses the fragrant inks to create the image. The hope is that when traveling, photographers (and foodies) can capture the visual image of the food and its fragrance to enhance the sharing experience when you show the photos to friends and family.

A spokesperson from Sony told Wired, &amp;quot;We think this idea is very interesting. In China many people love to take photos of delicious food and upload them to social networking services for family and friends to see. This design can help record the memory of the event too. Recording the smell of food is very interesting because you get good and bad smells, it will make communication with friends more amusing.&amp;quot; Would you purchase a food printer that recorded the smells of your meals?
