ScentChart
An AR navigation app that maps your city by scent memories instead of streets. Users drop 'scent pins' at locations where they had meaningful olfactory experiences - grandmother's kitchen, first date restaurant, seaside vacation - creating an invisible emotional map overlaid on physical geography.
The Wow Moment
You point your phone at a nondescript city block and suddenly see swirling scent markers: coffee roasting from 2019, jasmine from a stranger's perfume in 2021, rain on asphalt from last Tuesday. The AR overlay shows these as colored whirlpools you can tap to replay the memory with scent visualization and voice notes.
