Abstract

The human sense of smell is powerful. However, the way we use smell as an interaction modality in human–computer interaction (HCI) is limited. We lack a common reference point to guide designers’ choices when using smell. Here, we map out an olfactory design space to provide designers with such guidance. We identified four key design features: (i) chemical, (ii) emotional, (iii) spatial, and (iv) temporal. Each feature defines a building block for smell-based interaction design and is grounded in a review of the relevant scientific literature. We then demonstrate the design opportunities in three application cases. Each application (i.e., one desktop, two virtual reality implementations) highlights the design choices alongside the implementation and evaluation possibilities in using smell. We conclude by discussing how identifying those design features facilitates a healthy growth of this research domain and contributes to an intermediate-level knowledge space. Finally, we discuss further challenges the HCI community needs to tackle.

Nose Gym: An Interactive Smell Training Solution
CHI EA '23: Extended Abstracts of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

When was the last time you had your sense of smell checked? Smell is one of the most neglected senses in daily life and in HCI. In Europe and the USA, around 22% of the general adult population has some form of smell dysfunction. This number rises to 75%...
Digital taste & smell for remote multisensory interactions: poster abstract
BodyNets '11: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Body Area Networks

This poster presents an approach to enhance remote multisensory interactions through digital taste (gustation) and smell (olfaction) senses on human. This approach mainly facilitates the digital actuation of taste and smell sensations on human. It ...
Physically touching and tasting virtual objects enhances the realism of virtual experiences

Experiment 1 explored the impact of physically touching a virtual object on how realistic the virtual environment (VE) seemed to the user. Subjects in a `no touch' group picked up a 3D virtual image of a kitchen plate in a VE, using a traditional 3D ...
