Summary:
Although scents cannot be treated as digital information at the current stage, it would be possible to express quitenew sensory information if we could incorporate olfaction into information. Therefore, we will develop digital scenttechnology that can reproduce scents using a small number of odor components, and realize a scented cyberspace.
This research will make it possible to express information that couldnot be adequately conveyed only through audiovisual senses. In theexploratory research, we worked with companies to develop anolfactory display and content that can blend odor components toreproduce the scent in real time, and conducted numerousdemonstrations. In the full-scale research, we will expand the rangeof scents that can be reproduced. Then, we will expand the scentreproduction technology and its applications, thereby carrying outthe following tasks and building digital scent technology.
1: Reproducing scents using odor components and expanding therange of scents we can handle
2: AI that creates desired scents based on linguistic expressions
3: Establishment of scent presentation technology through olfactorydisplay and content, followed by the verification of its effectiveness
