“…It is worth noting that a variety of approaches to pairing have been used in such events/marketing activations, including everything from the intuitive matches of the scent/sound designer through to compositions based on specific translation of scent into sound (on occasion, based on the emerging literature on the crossmodal correspondences; there is even research emerging on the sound symbolic connection to scents; Uchida et al., in press; see also Speed et al., 2021 ). And see Choi et al. (2011) for a high-tech solution to combined scent-sound delivery.…”

The matching of scents with music is both one of the most natural (or intuitive) of crossmodal correspondences and, at the same time, one of the least frequently explored combinations of senses in an entertainment and multisensory experiential design context. This narrative review highlights the various occasions over the last century or two when scents and sounds have coincided, and the various motivations behind those who have chosen to bring these senses together: This has included everything from the masking of malodour to the matching of the semantic meaning or arousal potential of the two senses, through to the longstanding and recently-reemerging interest in the crossmodal correspondences (now that they have been distinguished from the superficially similar phenomenon of synaesthesia, with which they were previously often confused). As such, there exist a number of ways in which these two senses can be incorporated into meaningful multisensory experiences that can potentially resonate with the public. Having explored the deliberate combination of scent and music (or sound) in everything from “scent-sory” marketing through to fragrant discos and olfactory storytelling, I end by summarizing some of the opportunities around translating such unusual multisensory experiences from the public to the private sphere. This will likely be via the widespread dissemination of sensory apps that promise to convert (or translate) from one sense (likely scent) to another (e.g., music), as has, for example already started to occur in the world of music selections to match the flavour of specific wines.

“…The HCI research community has formerly looked into some of the challenges and possibilities for smellbased technology [33,24,23]. Most recent HCI research and product development efforts have focused on enabling scent to become part of digital communications [4,38,34,42,9,10]. Most systems use off the shelf aromas in their prototypes, focusing research efforts on the device itself.…”

The sense of smell is perhaps the most pervasive of all senses, but it is also one of the least understood and least exploited in HCI. We present Essence, the first olfactory computational necklace that can be remotely controlled through a smartphone and can vary the intensity and frequency of the released scent based on biometric or contextual data. This paper discusses the role of smell in designing pervasive systems that affect one's mood and cognitive performance while being asleep or awake. We present a set of applications for this type of technology as well as the implementation of the olfactory display and the supporting software. We also discuss the results of an initial test of the prototype that show the robustness and usability of Essence while wearing it for long periods of time in multiple environments.

Electrical Generation of Intranasal Irritating Chemosensation

et al. 2021

Percutaneous electrical stimulation modifies brain and nerve excitability and also stimulates various sensory organs. Although it can be applied to sensory information displays, virtual reality, and human augmentation, the effect on human intranasal chemosensation, including olfaction, is not clearly understood. In this paper, we introduce galvanic olfactory stimulation, in which non-invasive electrical stimulation induces virtual intranasal chemosensation. For this purpose, we designed an electrode configuration using a finite element analysis simulation. We then conducted two psychophysical experiments comparing different stimulation configurations and asking subjects to describe their sensation experiences. The results demonstrate that galvanic olfactory stimulation using a pair of electrodes at the nasal bridge and the dorsal surface of the neck induces virtual irritating intranasal chemosensation. This observation suggests that, at the very least, the proposed galvanic olfactory stimulation method induces irritating intranasal chemosensation. This implies that an electric current stimulates the trigeminal nerve in the inner region of the nasal cavity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate virtual intranasal chemosensation using non-invasive electrical stimulation of the external surface of the nose.
