Our Goal
Our goal is to make art more accessible to the blind and visually impaired. We have teamed up with the renowned Timken Museum to do this . Together with the Timken we will create experiences at the museum for the blind and visually impaired community. Additionally, we work to provide these experiences in every museum.
Art through Smell
Using smell, we can activate core memories to really enhance the experience of art. Art is not only a painting or sculpture, but a feeling. We want to make not only the visually impared view art in a different way, but everyone.
Impact
Our goal is to impact the BVI (Blind and Visually Impaired) community in huge ways with our new invention. An olfactory experience equipped with scent dispensers and speakers. This will help make art more accessible to the BVI community.

Seeing by Scent
Our Innovation Project is Seeing by Scent: Making Art Accessible to all.
The Problem
The Blind and Visually Impaired (BVI) community has not been ble to experience art in the same way we do.
Research
Most of our research was either in-person or a call with companies able to help our goal. We spoke to the prestigous MET, SD Institute for the Blind, SD Braille Institute, and the Timken Museum of Art.
Our Solution
One major thing we noticed after calling all of these museums and companies, is that they don’t use or include scent at all. In fact, there is little to no documentation of using scent to impact the blind and visually impared. As a team, we decided that we would persue scent and olfactory experiences to impact art and the world around us
