“…The authors also reported that it took approximately 7 seconds for assessors to detect the emission of scents. Tan et al [1998] described an electromechanical OD that used a linear solenoid positioned on top of perfume bottles and was used to depress the atomizer of the perfume bottle. Different scents could be selected to be emitted via a PC interface and, as such, this set-up is somewhat reflective of an everyday kiosk with the added dimension of olfaction.…”

Recently, the concept of olfaction-enhanced multimedia applications has gained traction as a step toward further enhancing user quality of experience. The next generation of rich media services will be immersive and multisensory, with olfaction playing a key role. This survey reviews current olfactory-related research from a number of perspectives. It introduces and explains relevant olfactory psychophysical terminology, knowledge of which is necessary for working with olfaction as a media component. In addition, it reviews and highlights the use of, and potential for, olfaction across a number of application domains, namely health, tourism, education, and training. A taxonomy of research and development of olfactory displays is provided in terms of display type, scent generation mechanism, application area, and strengths/weaknesses. State of the art research works involving olfaction are discussed and associated research challenges are proposed.

“…Let denote the RBF output for input and let the error be denoted by (1) where, is j-th element of center vector , is j-th element of weight and is j-th element of width at time n. The RBF-SG algorithm adapts the network parameters according to the following equations (2) and (3) [7]. In (2) and (3),…”

Future multimedia communication system can be developed to identify, transmit and provide odors besides voice and image. In this paper, an improved odor identification method is introduced. We present an analysis of centergradient and a new method of using convergence parameters in training RBFN-SVD-SG (Radial Basis Function Network using Singular Value Decomposition combined with Stochastic Gradient) algorithm for odor identification. Through mathematical analysis, it was found that the steady-state weight fluctuation and large values of convergence parameter can lead to an increase of variance of center-gradient, which induces ill-behaving convergence. The proposed method of using raised-cosine functions for time-decaying convergence parameter shows faster convergence and better recognition performance.

“…Although having many advantages, the lack of an effective scent generator, which generates various odors, restricts further research. Recently, there has been great interest in a scent generator device that presents smell output and a commercial device has also appeared [3].…”

Among the human senses, olfactory information still does not have a proper data presentation method unlike that regarding vision and auditory information. It makes presenting the sense of smell into multimedia information impossible, which may be an exploratory field in human computer interaction. In this paper, we propose an olfactory information presentation method, which is a way to use smell as multimedia information, and show an application for scent generation and odor display using a web service. The olfactory information can present smell characteristics such as intensity, persistence, hedonic tone, and odor description. The structure of data format based on olfactory information can also be organized according to data types such as integer, float, char, string, and bitmap. Furthermore, it can be used for data transmitting via a web service and for odor display using a scent generator. The scent generator, which can display information of smell, is developed to generate 6 odors using 6 aroma solutions and a diluted solution with 14 micro-valves and a micropump. Throughout the experiment, we confirm that the remote user can grasp information of smell transmitted by messenger service and request odor display to the computer controlled scent generator. It contributes to enlarge existing virtual reality and to be proposed as a standard reference method regarding olfactory information presentation for future multimedia technology.
