“…However, different olfactory systems have been proposed for their use in VR so that users have a more satisfactory experience. For example, an olfactory system attached to the HTC Vive hand controller was presented in a recent work [51]. The users can manipulate virtual objects in a VR environment and smell them, which is similar to real life.…”

“…There are many types of olfactory displays, such as wearable and desktop olfactory displays. Examples of wearable olfactory displays are such as a head-mounted display (HMD), collar form olfactory display, necklace olfactory display, and graspable olfactory display [83][84][85][86][87]. On the other hand, examples of desktop olfactory displays include odor recorders, smell screens, etc.…”

Replicating specific scents by mixing ‘base odors’ is the main idea behind the concept of odor reproduction. Just as primary colors can be combined to generate a wide range of colors in visual perception, the hope is to find a similar principle in olfaction. However, defining such ‘primary odors’ is difficult due to the complexity of our sense of smell, which is much different from vision. In spite of these challenges, numerous scientists have endeavored to identify a combination of basic smell components that can mimic various scents. Currently, the suggested combinations of smell components are typically only successful at recreating specific, intended scents. The range of reproducible scents differs based on the selection of base odors, yet these studies have provided valuable knowledge about the nature of these primary odors. This review paper will focus on the latest studies related to odor reproduction. Understanding odor space, odor reproduction, and the challenges encountered when expanding the range of odors will be explained. © 2023 Institute of Electrical Engineer of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.

“…Raspberry Pi Zero W and an Adafruit 815 PWM/Servo controller control the olfactory display. The olfactory displays are made of Ninja flex plastic and 3D‐printed polyethylene terephthalate glycol (Niedenthal et al., 2023). Recently, a wireless skin‐interfaced olfactory feedback system with small flexible odor generators has been developed.…”

The perceptual behavior of consumers on a product displayed in the market has a vital role in analyzing the importance given to that product. Therefore, various strategies have been developed to understand this consumer behavior in the selection of products. Immersive technologies like virtual, augmented, and mixed reality are among them. With the foremost feature of immersion in the virtual world and interaction of users with virtual objects, virtual reality, and augmented reality have unlocked their potential in research and a user‐friendly tool for analyzing consumer behavior. In addition to these technologies, mixed reality also has a significant role in investigating consumer behavior. Studies on immersive technologies in food applications are vast, hence this review focuses on the applications of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality in the food selection behavior of consumers. The behavioral studies are elicited to develop new products based on consumer needs, to understand the shopping behavior in supermarkets for real‐time usage, and to know the influence of emotions in a selection of products. The findings suggest that virtual, augmented, and mixed reality induce immersion of the users in food selection behavioral studies. Information on the technological advancements in the tools used for bringing immersion and interaction are discussed for its futuristic applications in food. Though immersive technology gives users a realistic virtual environment experience, its application in food systems is in the budding stage. More research on human response studies would contribute to its innovative and inevitable application in the future.
