近来，存在能够呈现与用户位置相关的听觉、视觉和触觉信息的各种类型的显示系统。同样重要的是，目前的嗅觉信息与用户的位置，我们专注于气味的空间性，这是它的特点之一。在本研究中，我们建构并评估一个可穿戴式嗅觉显示器，以呈现户外环境中气味的空间性。原型可穿戴嗅觉显示系统处理气态气味，气味空气通过管道输送到用户的鼻子。利用该系统，我们还提出了气味的空间性，通过控制气味强度根据用户和气味源的位置。通过该原型系统，用户可以指定室外环境中气味源的位置。为了改进这个原型系统，我们构建了另一个可穿戴嗅觉显示器。由于气味是在气态下处理的，第一个原型系统存在一些问题，例如装置尺寸大和气味无意泄漏到环境中。为了解决这些问题，我们开发并评估了一种先进的可穿戴嗅觉显示器，该显示器使用喷墨头装置来处理液体状态下的气味。
Recently, there are various types of display systems that can present aural, visual and haptic information related to the user’s position. It is also important to present olfactory information related to the user’s position, and we focus on the spatiality of odor, which is one of its characteristics. In this research, we constructed and evaluated a wearable olfactory display to present the spatiality of odor in an outdoor environment. The prototype wearable olfactory display system treats odor in the gaseous state, and the odor air is conveyed to the user’s nose through tubes. Using this system, we also present the spatiality of odor by controlling the odor strength according to the positions of the user and the odor source. With this prototype system, the user can specify the position of the odor source in an outdoor environment. To improve this prototype system, we constructed another wearable olfactory display. Because odor is treated in the gaseous state, the first prototype system has some problems such as the large size of the device and unintentional leakage of the odor into the environment. To solve these issues, we developed and evaluated an advanced wearable olfactory display that uses an inkjet head device to treat odor in the liquid state.
