Abstract

In this paper we report on the development of a simple, yet innovative multi-channel olfactory display. Unlike other sensory stimuli (specifically sight and sound), digital olfactory technology has yet to have wide-spread commercial success. Our proposed system will release up to 8 different liquid phase aromas (essential oils) using a thermal mechanism. The unit contains a speed controlled fan, temperature control of the heating element and a gas sensor to provide feedback to inform the release rate. It can be connected (via Bluetooth LE) to a tablet/computer to control the timing and intensity of the aroma. External measurements show that aromas can be detected within a few seconds of release and produce a broad range of intensities from low ppm to 10’s of ppm.
