Cyber-Nose

Cyber Nose

general term for a series of olfactory sensors developed and built by several companies. These devices are able to detect the faintest molecular traces of chemical vapors. Pre Astro Earth had experimented with such devices as many other civilizations did. However no one in the known Universe has developed better and more sophisticated Cyber Noses than the Emperors Technology Guild of Attika.[1] Most of their information and identification technology was and is based on olfactory signals. The Attikan are only second to the Shail when it comes to detect odors and moelcule strains. Cyber Noses are used usually in hand held devices or sometimes in vehicle mounted devices. The most common use of these devices is biological research and their use in forensic criminology.
