A Novel Olfactory Displays' Scent Dispersing Module
نویسندگان
چکیده
Olfactory display devices have become a recent demand and trend in human computer interaction, providing a new member in the human computer interaction peripheral devices family. These devices enrich the olfactory sense for the user stimulating him/her by means of scent stimuli in correspondence to an object or an event shown on the visual display. Some researches have been done to cover the design, usage and delivery for the scent to the users, other works covered some analysis on the scent categorization and grouping. In this paper a focus is on the controlled atomization of a liquid based scent material while guaranteeing: speed, intensity, durability, compactness and scalability, these important factors are crucial to build a commercial grade olfactory displays containing a universal, interchangeable and versatile but yet durable scent disparity component to facilitate the realization of olfactory display devices.

Flowers help bees cope with uncertainty: signal detection and the function of floral complexity.
Plants often attract pollinators with floral displays composed of visual, olfactory, tactile and gustatory stimuli. Since pollinators' responses to each of these stimuli are usually studied independently, the question of why plants produce multi-component floral displays remains relatively unexplored. Here we used signal detection theory to test the hypothesis that complex displays reduce a pol...
متن کاملDifferential responses of coyotes to novel stimuli in familiar and unfamiliar settings
We studied behavioral responses of captive and wild coyotes (Canis latrans) toward novel objects and artificial scent stations to determine how they might respond to novel stimuli used in coyote management and research. When captive coyotes encountered novel stimuli in unfamiliar surroundings they showed little avoidance, while the same stimuli caused avoidance and neophobic reactions among coy...
متن کاملIntegrating a projection-based olfactory display with interactive audio-visual contents
Recently, olfactory interfaces, in addition to visual, auditory, and haptic interfaces, have been examined to enhance the sensation of presence for virtual reality. We have proposed the concept of “projection-based olfactory display” and have developed several prototype systems to realize this concept. A projection-based olfactory display applies the principle of vortex rings launched from an a...
متن کاملVisual and Olfactory Floral Cues of Campanula (Campanulaceae) and Their Significance for Host Recognition by an Oligolectic Bee Pollinator
Oligolectic bees collect pollen from a few plants within a genus or family to rear their offspring, and are known to rely on visual and olfactory floral cues to recognize host plants. However, studies investigating whether oligolectic bees recognize distinct host plants by using shared floral cues are scarce. In the present study, we investigated in a comparative approach the visual and olfacto...
متن کاملColour as a backup for scent in the presence of olfactory noise: testing the efficacy backup hypothesis using bumblebees (Bombus terrestris)
The majority of floral displays simultaneously broadcast signals from multiple sensory modalities, but these multimodal displays come at both a metabolic cost and an increased conspicuousness to floral antagonists. Why then do plants invest in these costly multimodal displays? The efficacy backup hypothesis suggests that individual signal components act as a backup for others in the presence of...
