IMAGINE….TODAY IS 17TH MAY 2015

U ARE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNIG

A GENTLE SCENT OF CITRUS KEEPS U ALERT.

AFTER 20 MINS. U R SMELLING A FILE THAT

U DOWNLOADED FROM THE WEB.

AFTER STRESSFUL MEETING,THE TINY

BIOSENSORS DETECTS THAT U NEED TO

RELAX.SO, A CALMING LAVENDER STARTS TO

FILL UOR PERSONEL SCENT BUBBLE.

DIGITAL SCENT…AN OVERVIEW…

Technology has till date be able to use our sense of site and sound quite successfully in bringing virtual reality and nearer to reality.

WE have realistic-looking games, and graphic cards that are capable of making them real.

Olfactory information has been mainly ignored as input to the virtual environment participant, in spite of the fact that olfactory receptors provide such a rich source of information to the human. To enhance this virtual experience, technology now targets on nose and tongue for the experience of smell and taste.

OVER VIEW ………………….CONTD.

Digital Scent Technology we are able to sense, transmit and receive a smell-trough the internet,

smell a perfume online before buying them, check to see if food you are buying is fresh, smell burning rubber in your favorite racing

game, or sent scented e-cards from scent enable

websites. “Imagine being able to smell things using a

device that connects to your computer. Digital scent technologies is making this a reality.”

FIRST THINGS FIRST…HOW WE SMELL ?

Olfaction is defined as the act of smelling, where as to smell is to receive the scent of something by means of the olfactory nerves.

Odorants are substances who characteristics can be determined by chemical analysis

Air bone molecules of volatile substances come in contact with membranes of receptor cells located in the upper part of the nostrils.

The olfactory epithelium, the smell organ covers a 4-10 cm^2 area and consists of 6-10 million olfactory hairs, cilia, that detect different smells of compounds.

Excited receptors send pulses to the olfactory bulbs, a part of cortex with a pattern of receptors activity indicating a particular scent.

RESEARCH..POINTS.

Three quarters of the emotions that we

generate on a daily basis are affected by

smell

Certain odours can also relieve side effects

from chemotherapy, or significantly benefit

people who suffer from insomnia, muscle

stiffness, bronchitis, poor concentration,

indigestion, and high-blood pressure.

THEN..HOW THIS TECH WORKS…

A complete hardware and software for scenting digital media.

It include a scent synthesiser.  for reproducing and electronic nose for the detection of the smell. These two peripheral components connected to the computer and the communication network for the transmission of the digitized smell data does comprise the digital scent technology and communication.

ADVANCEMENT…….TIL NOW

Jenny Tillotson, a researcher and a designer at the University of the Arts in London, England.

Tillotson produced the world's first interactive scent outfit. She called her prototype dress 'Smart Second Skin'.

Her newest gadget is the button-sized 'eScent'. It contains bio-sensors that monitor changes in the blood pressure, respiration and skin's electric potential. When it detects a change, it sends signals to the lab-on-a-chip devices, which then change the type or intensity of fragrance released.

ADVANCEMENT…….TIL NOW

eMos, a button-sized gadget which senses the frequency of sound made by an approaching mosquito and triggers the release of a small amount of repellent

The SO703i Sony Bravia "aroma phone" comes with changeable scented sheets of nine aromas that can be combined with nine different colour panels, aimed at providing users with a therapeutic experience.

Hyundai's MP 280, "the perfume phone", has a built-in perfume container that releases scent when the mobile is in use.

CONCLUSION…..

Perhaps the future will be more scented than we think. Be it wearable interactive scents for fashion, addition of olfaction to entertainment and communication or personalised technology aimed at improving the quality of people's lives, digital scents seem set to enrich our lives.

With the help of digital scent technology, we can make a more interactive web, game and supports to virtual reality.

IF A PICTURE IS WORTH THAN A THOUSAND WORD, THEN A SMELL IS WORTH THAN A THOUSAND PICTURES.
