My name is Cecilia Giorcelli and I am an MFA Design and Technology student at Parsons The New School for Design. I worked on this project during my first semester of Major Studio.
​
Why am I doing this?

I believe there is a need to detect smoke indoors. The majority of indoor public spaces are smoke free but the number of smokers in America and worldwide is still relatively high. I want to create a B2B product that detects the smell of nicotine and in future developments the smell of marijuana or other illegal substances that emit chemicals in the air.

 

The primary application for this product is hotels but it could be adapted to any space that is meant to be monitored. The Naso Sense could be used in dorm rooms, homeless shelters or even in your home if you want to monitor a specific room. 

 

Naso Sense detects the smell in the air and when nicotine is detected it sends a signal via wifi and it informs the user of the breach. When the sensor is used in hotels, if the device detects smoke activity it will directly add a smoking fine to the person staying in that specific hotel room.
