Title
SUBSMELL: multimedia with a simple olfactory display
Abstract
The idea of adding the SubSmell logo to the movie for describing
the scent of each event in the movie has been proposed to improve
the current way of seeing movies, which can perceive only pictures
and sound. Using the SubSmell, the audience can smell the movie. The
audiences need a SubSmell application to read a SubSmell and an olfactory
display in order to release scent.
There are two main parts in SubSmell system, which are an olfactory
display and a SubSmell application. An olfactory display consists of a
control box and four smell boxes with four fans. Fans will be turned on
and release scents when receiving the signal from a SubSmell application.
A SubSmell application is designed to read a SubSmell in the movie and
decide to send signals to an olfactory display. A SubSmell application
consists of four major components: 1) Movie Controlling, 2) SubSmell
Reading, 3) Scent Releasing and 4) Olfactory Display Monitoring. We
use Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 to develop the user interface and the
SubSmell components.
The experiment was done in order to assess the following qualities:
1) Usability: to prove that the system can read a SubSmell in the movie
and release scent. 2) Efficiency: to show that the system can work with
high accuracy.
