Kunkun body is a device with built-in pocket-size semiconductor gas sensor, By connecting with smartphone with Bluetooth, it is possible to check the strength of measured "odor" from the dedicated application in 10 steps. It is not only to simply measure the strength of odor, but also to be able to segregate the kind of odor of "sweat odor" "middle fat odor" "age-old smell" which is said to be "three major odors". In the future, we plan to be able to check "bad breath" in addition to these three types of odor.


You can choose from 4 locations: "Head", "Back behind the ear", "Walk" and "Leg" where you can measure whether odor comes out.


After that, by looking at the measurement result displayed in the application, it will investigate the problem of one's own body odor which is difficult to hear, which part should be carefully taken care of. A reporter from The Guardian who visited the launch event in Tokyo checked his ears after walking for 30 minutes to the venue, and the Kunkun body got a considerably high "sweat odor" and "middle fat odor" It shows that it shows that it is "I need immediate care" and a message is displayed.
