Olfactory and gustatory display by using cross-modal effects

在本研究中，我们提出了一种新的嗅觉和味觉显示系统，利用嗅觉与其他感官的相互作用。嗅觉基于化学信号，而视觉和听觉基于物理信号。通过嗅觉和视觉之间的交叉通道效应，我们可以呈现出与所呈现的气味不同的各种嗅觉感觉。此外，利用嗅觉、味觉和视觉之间的交叉通道效应，我们可以通过视觉-嗅觉显示器呈现对同一食物的各种味觉感觉。通过分析和利用这些跨通道效应，有可能增强嗅觉显示的能力，获得高质量的嗅觉和味觉体验。

In this research, we proposed novel olfactory and gustatory display system by utilizing interaction of olfaction with other senses. Olfactory sensation is based on chemical signals whereas the visual sensation and auditory sensation are based on physical signals. By using this cross-modal effect between olfaction and vision, we can present various olfactory sensations different from the presented smell. Also, by using cross-modal effect among olfaction, gustation and vision, we can present various gustatory sensations with same food via visual-olfactory displays. By analyzing and utilizing these cross-modal effects, it is possible to augment the capability of olfactory displays and achieve high quality olfaction and gustation experience.
