The Smell Engine: A system for artificial odor synthesis in virtual environments

Mimicking physical odor sensations virtually can present users with a real - time odor synthesis that approximates what users would smell in a virtual environment, e.g., as they walk around in virtual reality. To this end, we devise a Smell Engine that includes: (i) a Smell Composer framework that allows developers to configure odor sources in virtual space, (ii) a Smell Mixer that dynamically est...
