Japanese camera firm Konica Minolta has launched a pocket-sized device that alerts you about unpleasant body smells via an app. 

The device, called KunKun Body (KunKun means 'sniff,sniff' in Japanese) detects specific chemicals that cause smells associated with the scent of perspiration or body fat. 

The device is currently only available in Japan, with no plans to sell it outside of Japan, and costs 30,000 yen (US$265 or £206).

The device has gas sensors and uses a neural network to distinguish the type and strength of odor detected
The KunKun Body device works by placing the odor checking device in one of four locations: Behind the ear, near the head, under the armpit or the fee, and then pressing the large measuring button on the center
