“…Odour identification is also usually influenced by social and cultural factors (Saito et al, 2006). For these reasons and also due to the lack of standard smell classification schemes (Chastrette, 2002;Kaye, 2001), it is advised that familiar smells be used for experiments involving the use of olfactory data (Kaye, 2001;Saito et al, 2006). We finally opted for six smells which distinguish between the odour classes, flowery, foul, fruity, burnt, resinous and spicy.…”

“…losing one's sensitivity to detecting odours as a result of continuous exposure to odours and prolonged stimulation of the olfactory sense (Köster, 2002). Moreover, Chastrette (2002) points out that there are still no known standard classification schemes for smells and certainly none found acceptable to all, with the consequence that the available odour classification schemes are established with different aims and objectives in mind. Thus, the consequence is that each of these classification schemes in reality suits different purposes.…”

________________________________________________________________________Olfaction, or smell, is one of the last challenges which multimedia applications have to conquer. As far as computerised smell is concerned, there are several difficulties to overcome, particularly those associated with the ambient nature of smell. In this paper, we present results from an empirical study exploring users' perception of olfaction-enhanced multimedia displays. Findings show that olfaction significantly adds to the user multimedia experience. Moreover, use of olfaction leads to an increased sense of reality and relevance. Our results also show that users are tolerant of the interference and distortion effects caused by olfactory effect in multimedia. Categories and ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTIONOlfactory enhanced multimedia displays concerns themselves with associating computer generated smell with other media in order to enrich the users' experience and perception of a multimedia presentation or application. That olfaction-enhanced multimedia is a challenging research area is reflected by the relative paucity of research works in this area.Current usage of olfaction in multimedia has mostly been limited to the area of multimodal information displays, particularly in the area of presenting system and application output in alternative modes for end users. In such systems, there are different output modes available for presenting information, but only one data medium is used at any time to convey the required information and olfactory data usage in such application systems would often be used in response to, or to signify, the occurrence of some application event. Our interest with olfaction in multimedia displays is however concentrated with its usage when combined with other media. To this end, olfactory data may be used to enhance the meaning and provide clarity of user presented information and increase the sense of reality and enjoyment in multimedia applications. Most of the existing work done using olfactory data integrated with other media objects has mostly been done in the virtual reality field (Boyd et al., 2006;Dinh et al., 1999;Drolet et al., 2009;Jones et al., 2004;Kaye 2001;Nakamoto et al., 2008;Richard et al., 2006;Tijou, Richard and Richard, 2006;Washburn and Jones, 2004;Zybura and Eskeland, 1999), and only one of the reported cases shows any significant results to show that adding olfactory data to such systems impacted on the sense of reality of the application quite considerably.

“…Research [13,21,39,40] has shown that while we are often able to detect the presence of the variety of smells we come in to contact with daily, we are often unable to associate a meaningful name to these smells and will normally identify them by saying, "this/that smell reminds me of some known object" or pointing to some object and saying, "this smells like that", that is by association [21,39,66]. may be traced.…”

Olfaction-Enhanced MultimediaOlfaction, or smell, is one of the last challenges which multimedia applications have to conquer. As far as computerised smell is concerned, there are several difficulties to overcome, particularly those associated with the ambient nature of smell which causes interference and distortion of olfactory data when used. Nevertheless, there is a growing awareness of potential uses and benefits of olfaction in computing, and particularly in multimedia applications. To this end, we coin the term "Olfaction-enhanced multimedia applications", which we define as combining computer generated smell with other media to enrich the users' experience and perception of a multimedia presentation or application. 2In this paper, we seek to review current developments in the area of olfactory enhanced multimedia applications with a view of highlighting current research gaps, particularly those associated with user perception and experience of olfaction-enhanced multimedia applications. Accordingly, this paper starts by introducing olfaction, the human sense of smell and the psychophysics of it, which is then followed by taking a look at computerised smell and the issues surrounding its usage. Then, we review the literature relating to olfactory enhanced multimedia applications and highlight current research gaps and finally present a summary of research we have carried out in this area.
