The sudden sound of an alarm clock is enough to wake up most of us, but it's an unhappy way to start the day. Thanks to creative inventors who have been changing our lives with their wonderful products. We may be woken up by the scent(香味) of our favorite food in the future—an alarm clock called Sensor Wake.
This kind of alarm clock has a large face for showing the time and a hole at the top to release(释放) the scent. It_can_wake_you_up_with_smells_such_as_coffee_and_orange_juice.
The clock works by releasing the scent at a chosen time. If a user doesn't wake up within a minute, lights on its face will be turned on. What's more, to make sure that the user gets up on time and doesn't miss an important meeting, the alarm clock can also produce sound three minutes after the scent is released.
Now people can choose a smell from ten smell capsules(胶囊), depending on what they think will successfully make them leave their comfortable beds. Each capsule offers 30 wakeup calls, and they can change capsules to enjoy the different scent from day to day.
