The mulsemedia (Multiple Sensorial Media (MulSeMedia)) concept has been explored to provide users with new sensations using other senses beyond sight and hearing. The demand for producing such applications has motivated various studies in the mulsemedia authoring phase. To encourage researchers to explore new solutions for enhancing the mulsemedia authoring, this survey article reviews several mulsemedia authoring tools and proposals for representing sensory effects and their characteristics. The article also outlines a set of desirable features for mulsemedia authoring tools. Additionally, a multimedia background is discussed to support the proposed study in the mulsemedia field. Open challenges and future directions regarding the mulsemedia authoring phase are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
