Ad-Smell: Advertising Movie With a Simple Olfactory Display
Other Contributor(s)
Abstract
The idea of adding the smell to the advertising movie for
describing the scent of each event in the advertising movie has
been proposed to improve the current way of advertising movies,
which can perceive only pictures and sound. Using the Ad-Smell,
the customer can smell the advertising movie. The users need an
Ad-Smell application to read a smell and an olfactory display in
order to release scents.
There are two main parts in an Ad-Smell system, which are an
olfactory display and a release smell 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 an Ad-Smell application. The Ad-Smell application is
designed to detect a customer movement from a web camera and
then show an advertising movie. During a display of advertising
movie, Ad-Smell reads control signals in the movie and decides to
send signals to an olfactory display. The Ad-Smell application
consists of six major components: 1) Webcam Controlling, 2)
Motion Detection, 3) Movie Controlling, 4) SubSmell Reading, 5)
Scent Releasing, and 6) Olfactory Display Monitoring. We use
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 to develop the user interface and the
Ad-Smell components.
