Google Wants To Solve Excessive Sweating With An Innovative Device

Have you ever thought that a device cold replace your everyday deodorant? Well a giant technology company has. Google wants to solve excessive sweating with an innovative device.

If you have never been a huge fan of wearing deodorant and you have always dreamed about some sort of invention that would make sweet disappear, you have to know that Google researchers are working on making your wish come true.

Google is working on a device that is supposed not just to avoid clothes from getting those annoying white armpit stripes but that would also keep you dry and free of unwanted odours no matter how much your body sweats at work or when going out. The device would also help you no to run into anyone you know while sweating.

Imagine managing to avoid the hot guy you have a crush on or your boss as you are running late to work from lunch, and outside there are 90 degrees and you forgot to put on deodorant as you were in a rush to leave the house.

The invention, called “ odor removing device”, a Google patent filed by four Google employees, on August 31st, 2012 could be based on an activity sensor, a communication area that would allow access to one or several social networks and would permit communication with network contacts and a route suggestion feature, which would offer users an alternative route to take.

In this way, if your body is dripping sweat you would be spared the embarrassment of being seen by anyone in your social circle that is traveling on the same route as you are. The device will notify the user that his/hers contacts are in the area and would provide an additional route for them to take in order to avoid him/her and the unpleasant odors to meet with his/hers social contacts.

The technology will use Google services like Google Maps, RTM or Google Earth. RTM should be used for supplying the alternate route, according to the patent document.

So, yes, the whole idea of this project is that Google wants to help you avoiding to met people that you know and gross them out with the smell of your sweat. Apart from these features the device may also include a “parameter detector”, but also an accelerometer, a galvanic skin response monitor, an environmental sensor, a biometric sensor, context, a location sensor and also a camera.

Yes, it sounds a little strange and it may take some time to adjust to the idea, but this is indeed a future Google project.
The odor removing invention is aimed to do much more than to help you not to affect the ones around you with your smelly sweat. The device may track down when you are sweating, analyse your medical history and would offer a spraying and heating device and would also spray out a fragrant substance according to a prediction signal but the user would have control of it.

So basically this would work as a digital deodorant that detects physical movement and automatically emits a pleasant fragrance but would also detect a rise of temperature and humidity informing you about high sweat levels and body odors.

The user would also receive a warning before the smell is emitted, allowing them to disable the option if the don’t desire to release the fragrance, for example when being at the gym or at home.

Like it goes with all patents, Google may not be releasing the product in the near future or maybe it wont release it at all.
However, there is an alternative for those who are keen on the idea. It is called The Smart Spray accessory and it is a smart phone case adjusted with a tiny flask created to hold any type of liquid.

The small bottle could be filled with perfume, sun tan lotion, breath spray, insect repellent substance and so on. The tap comes out from the back of the case and can be hidden when not being used.
