O U ARE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNIG

O A GENTLE SCENT OF CITRUS KEEPS U

ALERT.

O AFTER 20 MINS. U R SMELLING A FILE

THAT U DOWNLOADED FROM THE WEB.

O AFTER STRESSFUL MEETING,THE TINY

BIOSENSORS DETECTS THAT U NEED TO
RELAX.SO, A CALMING LAVENDER STARTS
TO FILL UOR PERSONEL SCENT BUBBLE.
DIGITAL SCENT«AN OVERVIEW«
O Technology has till date be able to use our sense
of site and sound quite successfully in bringing
virtual reality and nearer to reality.
O WE have realistic-looking games, and graphic
cards that are capable of making them real.
O Olfactory information has been mainly ignored as
input to the virtual environment participant, in
spite of the fact that olfactory receptors provide
such a rich source of information to the human.
To enhance this virtual experience, technology
now targets on nose and tongue for the
experience of smell and taste.
OVER VIEW «««««««.CONTD.
O Digital Scent Technology we are able to sense,
transmit and receive a smell-trough the internet,
O smell a perfume online before buying them,

O check to see if food you are buying is fresh,

O smell burning rubber in your favorite racing

game, or
O sent scented e-cards from scent enable websites.

O ´Imagine being able to smell things using a

device that connects to your computer. Digital
scent technologies is making this a reality.µ
FIRST THINGS FIRST«HOW WE SMELL ?
O Olfaction is defined as the act of smelling, where
as to smell is to receive the scent of something by
means of the olfactory nerves.
O Odorants are substances who characteristics can
be determined by chemical analysis
O Air bone molecules of volatile substances come in
contact with membranes of receptor cells located
in the upper part of the nostrils.
O The olfactory epithelium, the smell organ covers
a 4-10 cm^2 area and consists of 6-10 million
olfactory hairs, cilia, that detect different smells
of compounds.
O Excited receptors send pulses to the olfactory
bulbs, a part of cortex with a pattern of receptors
activity indicating a particular scent.
RESEARCH..POINTS.

O Three quarters of the emotions that we generate

on a daily basis are affected by smell

O Certain odours can also relieve side effects from

chemotherapy, or significantly benefit people who
suffer from insomnia, muscle stiffness,
bronchitis, poor concentration, indigestion, and
high-blood pressure.
THEN..HOW THIS TECH WORKS«
O A complete hardware and software for scenting
digital media.
O It include a scent synthesiser. for reproducing
and electronic nose for the detection of
the smell. These two peripheral components
connected to the computer and the
communication network for the transmission of
the digitized smell data does comprise the digital
scent technology and communication.
CONTD«..
ADVANCEMENT««.TIL NOW
O Jenny Tillotson, a researcher and a designer at
the University of the Arts in London, England.
O Tillotson produced the world's first interactive
scent outfit. She called her prototype dress
'Smart Second Skin'.

O Her newest gadget is the button-sized 'eScent'. It

contains bio-sensors that monitor changes in the
blood pressure, respiration and skin's electric
potential. When it detects a change, it sends
signals to the lab-on-a-chip devices, which then
change the type or intensity of fragrance
released.
ADVANCEMENT««.TIL NOW
O eMos, a button-sized gadget which senses the
frequency of sound made by an approaching
mosquito and triggers the release of a small
amount of repellent
O The SO703i Sony Bravia "aroma phone" comes
with changeable scented sheets of nine aromas
that can be combined with nine different colour
panels, aimed at providing users with a
therapeutic experience.
O Hyundai's MP 280, "the perfume phone", has a
built-in perfume container that releases scent
when the mobile is in use.
CONCLUSION«..
O Perhaps the future will be more scented than we
think. Be it wearable interactive scents for
fashion, addition of olfaction to entertainment
and communication or personalised technology
aimed at improving the quality of people's lives,
digital scents seem set to enrich our lives.
O With the help of digital scent technology, we can
make a more interactive web, game and supports
to virtual reality.
 IF A PICTURE IS WORTH THAN A THOUSAND
WORD, THEN A SMELL IS WORTH THAN A
THOUSAND PICTURES.

O THANK YOU««««
