Many people are understandably excited by the suggestion that the chemical senses can be
digitized; be it to deliver ambient fragrances (eg, in virtual reality or health-related …

Mulsemedia—multiple sensorial media—makes possible the inclusion of layered sensory
stimulation and interaction through multiple sensory channels. The recent upsurge in …

The sense of smell is perhaps the most pervasive of all senses, but it is also one of the least
understood and least exploited in HCI. We present Essence, the first olfactory computational …

Although physical artifacts that represent data have been used for centuries, the research
field—known as data physicalization—has only recently gained traction. Compared to data …

The human sense of smell is powerful. However, the way we use smell as an interaction
modality in human–computer interaction (HCI) is limited. We lack a common reference point …

Similar to the concept of a cocktail or mocktail, we present Vocktail (aka Virtual Cocktail)-an
