DIGITAL SMELL
ABSTRACT
The technology has so far targeted mainly our sense of sight and sound. To further
enhance the virtual reality experience and another flavor to it, technology is now
targeting your nose and tongue.
The application area of virtual reality is vast- from normal entertainment to the
Internet and e-commerce application. You will be able to smell product before buying
them online.
California-based Digiscents Inc. has developed the iSmell personal scent synthesizer.
This small device connects through your pc via serial port and has its own driver.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In this modern age, computers have verified the cause of their existence. They
have virtually taken over in every field of today’s fast life. Gone are the days when
applications of computers were limited to official use only. Today computers have
important place in every household purpose, and mainly internet has taken over whole
world.
There are various causes due to which computers have their own stand in our
life. It provides a very good facility of fast processing, sound and picture. The virtual
reality concept has provided very good features to the computer systems. The concept
of virtual reality is introduced by the computer programmers to provide more
attachments to the user. There are several concepts of the virtual reality that are
available such as digital smell, virtual theater, electronics hand gloves, multipoint
surround sound system, 3d goggles.
The digital smell is basically a hardware software combination. The hardware
part of digital smell will produce the smell, and the software part will evaluate the
smell equation and generate specific signals for specific smell and finally that smell
will be produced by the device. The hardware device is a device like speaker, like
speaker this device is also connected to the computer system. For this device there is
also a driver program which will evaluate the digital equation for generating specific
gas.

Until now, online communication involved only three of our senses - hearing,
touch, and sight. New technology is being developed to appeal to our sense of smell.
DigiScents, an interactive media company, is creating iSmell Digital Scent
Technology, new software which will enable scents to be broadcast from the Web.
Coding of aromas would be downloaded to computer similar to graphics
images as audible sounds. Ultimately users will be able to create and modify their
own fragrances and post them on the internet (2000). Also discussed the potential for
creating smell capture cameras, which could add fragrances coding to images and
sounds.
The "Savor the World" tagline illustrates the California-based company's aims
to tap into the power of scent as a communication tool. "DigiScents combines the
power of science with the fact that the sense of smell is as powerful and emotional
trigger as any other sense," the Web site states.
This new technology will make it possible to send and receive scented e-mails
and to add scent elements to Web sites, to name just a few of its applications.
In future these devices will play very well role in our life, such as in Theater,
Televisions, internet etc.
1.1 Evolution Of Digital Smell
1.1.1 How it was Invented
As we know that many scientists have started for the virtual reality from the
last 5 to 6 years. As a virtual reality they have got a full concept as virtual theater.
These theaters consist of an electronic hand gloves, digital smell, multipoint surround
sound system, movement controllable seats, 3d goggles. From this idea the multipoint
surround sound system, 3d goggles, movement controllable seats were completed.
Now for the user to fill more realistic effects of movies they were introducing the very
new facility of digital smell in movies or in games. For example if we are watching a
movie and we see burning of tier then we will fill that smell in theater or pc or
television.
The basic idea for this was given by the perfume making companies for the
advertisements of their perfumes.
6
1.1.2 Founders
Founders Dexster Smith and Joel Lloyd Bellenson, experts in bioinformatics
and genomics, started from the following idea: “If we can find the essence of a
biological smell and build a profile, we can digitalize and broadcast it.” They came
up with the idea for the company while they were in South Beach. Using their
scientific knowledge, they indexed and analyzed natural smells said to be common to
South Beach such as flowers, salt water, and suntan lotion.

CHAPTER 2
DIGITAL AROMA
Traditionally one has said that we have five senses, recent studies indicate that
we have at least eleven and some specialists still consider more. Of the main ones
(Vista, ear, tact, taste and sense of smell), our nose is possibly the one that has more
relegated in our sensitive surroundings, since all the technology and the world that
surrounds to us attacks the Vista and the ear, but rare time we found some attempt to
approach the sense of smell.
So far, computers work with only 3 out of 5 senses.
2.1 SIGHT:
Our eyes are our windows to the world, thus it is no surprise that sight is used
the most out of the five perceptual senses. This is why the visual presentation of
advertisements is crucial to the success of the direct marketing campaign. In classic
mass advertising, the goal is to generate awareness. An ad is placed in a magazine or
on television in which the primitive components such as lines, colors, and shapes are
combined to formulate a consumer’s perception. Then the consumer either imprints
this perception in their mind or totally forgets about the ad. If the consumer
remembers the ad and then purchases the product, the ad is a success. It is this
recognition, our ability to place an object in a category and give it meaning, that mass
advertisers rely upon. Direct marketing has the advantage of presenting a product or
service directly to the consumer. The consumer can instantaneously recognize what
the product is and what they are being asked to do. If the piece is successful then the
consumer will take action and purchase the product or seek out additional
information. The phase between recognition and action is where direct marketers can
influence the consumer in taking the next step to make the desired response.
Video controllers now produce 24 bit color, a far cry from the 16 color CGA
monitors from the past. John Carmack wants us to go up to 64 bit color for greater
visual "realness".
8
2.2 SOUND:
Vibrations that travel through a medium produce sound. Sound must travel
through three main parts of the ear; the outer, middle and inner ear before it reaches
the neural processing center of the brain.
When direct marketers are educated on how sound can affect consumer
behavior it can be a very powerful tool to create effective advertisement campaigns.
One aspect of sound that has always been successful in ad campaigns is the use of
music. Today, music is a contributing factor to developing corporate brand identity
for companies. Music fills the background and creates an identity for space. For
example, British Airlines uses the new age music of Yanni to produce a sense of
ethereal escape and adventure. While United Airlines uses the American musical
classic, "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin to aid in creating their identity.
Today's surround sound speakers and sound cards are extremely well
developed, you can hear echoes, and pretty much tell where something is from how
the sounds reach your ears.
2.3 TOUCH:
Touch is the sensory stimulation that a person feels when something comes
into contact with the skin. These stimulators perceive different types of sensations
including temperature, vibrations, textures etc.
Touch is a significant factor when direct marketing is involved because it
plays a role in many different aspects within the effectiveness of the marketing
strategy. Any direct marketing mail piece requires the consumer to physically handle
paper. This simple medium is an important tool in the overall perception of the offer.
Businesses can become very particular when deciding the type of paper to include the
offer on. A textured paper that is heavier in weight is perceived to be of better quality
than the basic thin, light-weight paper.
Very much in its infancy, force feedback game controllers give us a small
sampling of touch
2.4 SMELL:

Our use of scent in the environment has currently become quite an issue in
society. It has become such an issue in different regions of the world, that companies
are required to carefully plan the use of scent in their direct marketing campaigns. In
today's advertising frenzy more companies are realizing that the major advantage of
direct marketing is the ability to be a three-dimensional advertising medium,
appealing to all five of the senses.
Sense of smell is the ability to detect odors. As humans, we are limited to the
sensation of seven basic odors and their combinations. Although not as highly
developed as in various other mammals, this perceptual sense can have a significant
impact on how we perceive different objects and messages. Like Sherlock Holmes'
Watson says, "there's nothing like a good sniff". Smell is the only sense that cannot be
turned off. A person smells all of the time and with every breath, as often as 20,000
times a day.
There are over 400 000 odors in the world, and it has been proved that they
can significantly influence individuals, and more importantly, consumer's moods and
behaviors.
The sense of smell is closely tied to memory and emotion, making
scent a powerful way to reinforce ideas. “If a picture is worth a thousand words, a
scent is worth a thousand pictures.”
2.5 TASTE:
Taste is the physiological perception of flavor. Sweet, salty, bitter and sour are
the four true tastes that we are able to perceive, and it is the combination of these
different flavorful sensations that entices us to want more.
The increased complexity of a flavor tends to generate a unique and
memorable experience. This means that when two or more true tastes are stimulated
simultaneously, the complete flavor and sensation of a food becomes memorable and
can be related toward a specific product brand. Beyond the physiological need for
nourishment, food has become a direct way for people to satisfy their unfulfilled
desires. Foods and flavors from around the world give people the opportunity to
experience alternate cultures and to travel without leaving their home. The tastes of
home cooked meals evoke happy emotions and memories of the “good old days,”
while chocolate are often used as an alternative to sexual desires.

CHAPTER 3
DIGITAL SCENT TECHNOLOGY
Imagine being able to smell things using a device that connects to your
computer. Like a new language, this technology is a new set of tools for self-
expression, communication, and commerce. It includes software components and a
peripheral device called the Personal Scent Synthesizer.
Digiscents don't plan on designing the games and other platforms themselves.
As well as the synthesizers, they've been creating the soft and hardware that game
producers will need to mix and incorporate scents into their latest offerings. Part of
that is "Reminiscent", a database of standard smells. These odors will be licensed to
developers for integration into games, websites and advertisements and so on.
The company promises that by this summer, they will be flying their flag at
the world's first scent-enabled Web portal, dubbed "The Snortal". Visitors will be able
to send "Scent Mail", design and register their own smells and swap aroma tracks to
their favorite music clips; just like computer gamers circulate custom-designed 'skins'
for their favorite titles.

“We’re going to be the Microsoft of smell.” Said one Digiscents insider.
Digiscents is apparently in discussions with at least one major game
developer. So we truly may be close to a time when you’ll smell those zombies just as
they sneak up to devour your brains.

3.1 Smell Synthesizer: -
The smell synthesizer mean the device which is used to generate the smells.
Such as ismell is device used to produce the gas using computer.
Fig 3.1 smell synthesizer
There are various types of smell synthesizers available in the market, but for
computer the smell synthesizer is made by digiscents industry.
3.2 ISMELL: -
The iSmell is a peripheral device, about the size of a PC speaker that connects
to a PC via a serial or USB port. It uses consumable cartridges which are used and
replaced similar to the way ink jet printers use ink cartridges. It emits natural-based
vapors into the user’s personal space. ISmell is triggered either on demand by the user
12
(via a keyboard or mouse action) or via a timed or programmed response (as is the
case with a DVD ScentTrack).
The company’s technology turns smells into digital codes that can be stored on
laser discs or as computer files, and can even be e-mailed. The iSmell device reads a
digital scent file, creates a smell from a “palette’’ of 128 chemicals stored in a
cartridge, and then wafts into the air with a small fan.
DEGISCENTS ISMELL VERSION I
Fig 3.2 ismell (version 1)
SPECIFICATIONS:
1.It has cartridge of 128 chemicals which is able to produce 10,000 smells
13
2.To active this device for computer it will require a driver program called as
ScentStream.
DIGISCENTS ISMELL VERSION II:-
Fig 3.2.1 ismell (version 2)
3.3 Cartridge: -
The cartridge will contain chemicals -- either natural oils or synthetic
fragrances -- that will be activated by either heat or air pressure, when you send a
signal from your computer. The digital smell device could add another sensory
dimension to the sights and sounds of a computer game. Currently 128 chemicals are
stored in a cartridge. Similar to an ink jet printer, those oils form the core of a
14
replaceable cartridge, which is inserted in the company's iSmell device. The oils are
electrically stimulated in different combinations to create specific smells in response
to software prompts programmed into applications such as Web site features,
computer games, digital music, and movies. But after some time as user will be more
familiar with these smells the cartridge will come in market in which you can add
chemicals as many as you want. They are still investigating all the scent combinations
that are currently possible with the iSmell device. As the technology becomes more
refined, more and more scents and scent combinations will be possible.
Fig 3.3 Cartridge
"The idea would be to have a box about the size of a small speaker that would
be connected to your computer and within that box is this cartridge of odors, having a
hundred different small chambers in it, and then on command from the computer, you
can choose various odors within that hundred, to be mixed up together and then
puffed gently out of this port where you can smell it."
3.4 Scentography: -
Scentography is a new form of expression that allows the integration of scents
with traditional digital multimedia, such as games, DVDs, and web sites. By allowing
you to communicate with smells, Scentography adds a new dimension and richness to
web pages and virtually any other form of electronic/digital communication. The
capability to digitize and broadcast scents will enable vendors and consumers to send
15
scented mail, establish smell 'n shop electronic kiosks, make and watch scented
DVDs, and play scented games and simulations.
Scentography promises a vast extension of sensory space, with profound
implications. "We've lost touch, as a species, with our sense of smell," Bellenson says,
speaking so rapidly that his words run together. "Like, our noses are not on the ground
anymore, because we don't have to hunt for food. Scent became an art perpetuated by
the big fragrance houses in Europe, and the average person was not empowered.

CHAPTER 4
BROADCASTING OF SMELL
Fig 4 : principles of digiscent,s ismell system
4.1 Digitized Scent.
A scent is indexed along two parameters, its chemical makeup and its place in the
scent”spectrum”,and then digitized into a small file.
4.2 Broadcast.
The digital file is scent, attached to enhanced web content.
4.3 Synthesize.
DigiScent’s iSmell, which connects to the user’s computer like a set of
speakers, synthesis the smell from a palette of “primary odours”, following the
guidelines of the digital file.
iSmell technology turns smell into digital codes that can be stored on laser
discs or as computer files, and it can even be emailed. It reads the digital scent file,
creates a smell from a ”palette” of 128 chemicals stored in a cartridge, which wafts
into the air with a small fan.
17
4.4 The complete product:
DigiScents is developing a complete solution for scent-enabling the Internet and all
forms of digital media, including:
iSmell Personal Scent Synthesizer: A computer peripheral device
which recreates Scent Objects by mixing and releasing one or more of 128 scents. The
device includes replaceable cartridges similar to those used in color printers.
4.4.1 ScentPalette Cartridges:
Consider cartridges contained inside the iSmell device. The cartridges
are filled with over one hundred different fragrant materials that are emitted alone or
incombination. In addition to the general purpose of Scent Palette there is a
possibility of creating industry Specific cartridges for every thing from fragrances and
food to games and movies.

CHAPTER 5
WHAT IS “ScentWare” AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fig 5 : senxware software for designing fragrances
“Sentware” is a combination of SoftWare and Hardware.
There are two types of software. One allows you to “Design” your own custom
fragrances, and the other allows you to receive the codes for a custom scent and have
them activate a spray device so you can smell it.
The design software is often as simple as a web page with pictures of
familiar scents (apple pie, popcorn, fresh rain, flowers) that you can “drag” with your
mouse into a virtual beaker and mix. The combinations you choose can be saved as a
custom fragrance, which gets stored as “codes” to be passed to a spray device.
The spray device is a piece of hardware that can be plugged into one of the
serial ports of your computer, the way a printer plugs in. This device has a disposable
19
cartridge with a number of chambers inside, each containing a chemical compound
that can be mixed with others to match the custom scent you’ve created.
ScentMixers are basically programs that will allow the developers to create
their own aromas for multimedia. Once the product is available on the Mac platform,
consumers will be able to use the ScentMixer Scent Creation Software, which allows
you to create your own scents.
5.1 SNORTAL: -
Snortal will be the Internet's first a scent-enabled Web portal. Visiting the
Snortal, you will be able to send scented e-mail, design and register your own smells,
and create and share ScentTracks for your favorite movies and music.
The Snortal was developed for DigiScents as a portal to scented products,
features, and entertainment. I collaborated closely with the president, CEO, marketing
and sales teams, a technical lead, and a creative lead to develop this interface.
The goal was to create a space where people of all ages can feel as though they
are on vacation, having fun. The look was appropriated into all marketing collateral,
including press folders and greeting cards.
5.2 SCENT REGISTRY: -
To ensure odor authenticity, DigiScent has created a ``Scent
Registry,'' a digital index of thousands of scents that the company will license to
developers to integrate into games, Web sites, advertisements, movies and music.
There is real science behind all this. Bellenson, who once ran a Stanford
University lab specializing in DNA synthesis, has drawn up models for the way odor
molecules bind with the some 10 million odor-detecting neurons on a human nose, a
step toward establishing the Scent Registry that will underpin the concept.
DigiScent's founders hope that by licensing their scent spectrum, they will
create a world of smells for the Internet generation – perfumes you can smell online,
20
computer games with the whiff of the jungle or the tang of jet fuel, movies that give
audiences the scents of an autumn bonfire.
5.3 DATA BASE REMINISCENTS: -
ScentObjets can be incorporated in many applications multimedia, for which a
license will be required.
Whatever the smell that we are the license for can be entered in the
ReminiScents data base file.
5.4 SCENTTRACKS: -
ScentTracks is software. By using this software you can edit the smell, create
the smell, create scented greeting cards, add smell for the movies or songs for all
these operation there are some tools are given which user can use.
File menu:
In this file menu they have given new, open, close, save, save as, search, exit,
etc. By these new menu of the ScentTracks user can create several new smells. He
has provided certain chemical reaction and on that basic he can easily create smell. By
these save and save as menu user can save these smell in the form of chemical
reaction.
Greeting menu:
In this menu user has provided the tools used for greetings menu. Such as
pictures as clip art, word art, chart, etc. The created smell or ready smell can be
attached to the greeting. Such that when greeting opens it will produce the sweet
smell.
Editor:
In editor menu they have given the editor for both the movies as well as for
songs. By using this editor you can add and delete smell at a particular place in a
movie or song. So that when that song continues at particular place it will produce
that inserted smell. But for that we require different players. Currently they were
making “Real Player” for that smell.
21
5.5 SDK: -
Set of tools to create content with aroma, includes ReminiScents Database,
API and DLL of iSmell and him servant and client of ScentStream.
The fields that could be seen modified are the entertainment, foods,
fragrances and fashion, home and hygiene, science, technology, trips and education,
since it would be possible to be induced knowledge or to be forced reactions through
the aroma, which can mean the following revolution.
Although the expectation is very interesting, we must hope to see if this
technology really takes force, since it will have to break with several paradigms of the
user with respect to his form to visualize the multimedia. To see when it is the turn of
the Virtual reality?
Digiscents Launched a Scentware Developers Kit -- Sdk -- at Game
Developers Conference.
The SDK is incredibly easy to implement, we expect to see an explosion of
scent enabled content. “Using the ScentWare(TM) SDK, a developer can scent
enable a game within an hour,” said DigiScents Director of ScentStream(TM)
Technology, Cooksey Thomas, who previously developed the Sega Dreamcast's audio
API. "The SDK contains all we need to create killer scented games that allow gamers
to smell environments, entities, and prizes."
EXAMPLES: -
Examples of scent associations that can be coded into game ScentTracks(TM)
are: -- Worlds and Environments (a cave, the beach, forest, watering hole) -- Entities
(Lara Croft's perfume, smell of hidden Pokemon(R), the odor of the enemy) -- Prizes
(bananas, coins, elixirs) -- User Actions (invoking magic, firing a gun) -- Events (tires
melting, explosion, change of weather)
The ScentWare(TM) SDK features: --
1 Intelligent Scent Rendering –
2 Adjustable Scent Parameters –
3 ReminiScents(TM) Database of ScentObjects(TM) –
4 iSmell(TM) Emulator –
22
5.6 WDK: -
The ScentWare Web Development Kit (WDK) gives you the tools to
provide unforgettable scented online experiences. Scenting your Web site is fast and
easy with the ScentWare WDK. Using your favorite leading web editing tools, you
can add ambient and click 'n' sniff scents to your web site or flash presentation in just
minutes. The only hard part about scenting your web site is choosing between
chocolate, orange, pine forest, the ocean, perfume, flowers, new car…the list goes on.
5.6.1 WDK Ingredients: -
• 2 ScentWare ActiveX controls
• ScentWare Netscape plug-in
• Flash presentation support
• RealNetworks plug-in
• Adjustable scent parameters
• Example scented web pages
• Full documentation & discussion forum and support
5.6.2 Technical Overview: A WDK That Makes Scents
The DigiScents Web Developers Kit or WDK is a group of interoperable
components that allow Web designers to implement click-and-sniff Web pages using
a variety of methods. Components can be used within Web pages targeted for either
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The kit includes a scriptable Netscape Plug-
in Control that can be used to target Netscape Navigator browsers and two ActiveX
Controls that can be used to target Internet Explorer browsers. As development
progresses all of the media players and major browsers will be supported. The WDK
v.1 release will allow web designers to experiment with the enabling technologies and
prepare content now in order that it will be available when the iSmell becomes
available to mass consumers. A number of licensing options are available to allow
commercial enterprises of all sizes to participate in the Revolution of the Senses™. To
allow the designers to preview their work the WDK comes with a software emulation
23
of the iSmell device, the emulation appears as a message dialog box that names the
scent emitted and its intensity. Web art can be scented in many different ways.
5.6.3 CLICK 'N' SNIFF
This method causes the user’s iSmell device to emit a scent when any scent-
enabled element is clicked. Click ‘n’ sniff can be implemented by using any of the
ScentWare WDK components.
5.6.4 AMBIENT SCENTS
Pages can also automatically emit scents either when the page is loaded
creating an ambient scent on rollover or on a timer using JavaScript.
5.6.5 SCENTED MULTIMEDIA
Any Web technology that supports scripting i.e. Flash, Shockwave, Director,
Microsoft Media player etc.. Can use a scripted implementation of the ActiveX
control. DigiScents has created two ActiveX controls to meet different web page
design needs.
5.6.6 GRAPHICAL BUTTON CONTROL
A richly configurable, graphical button control named AxScent Button
leverages all graphical web page development tools. This control only supports
Internet Explorer and provides a rich set of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You
Get) property page settings for the web designer. The rich button supports multiple
button states, styles and colors. The button can also be used as a non-scented button
for maximum artistic design flexibility. Using a design time container such as Go
Live, Dream weaver, FrontPage, among others, the designer has access to the
control’s graphical and scent property pages. The button control inherits its default
color and font values from the page into which it is inserted. The control may have to
be added to the toolbox of your particular authoring tool and will generally be
24
available under the category of ActiveX controls. Currently this control is supported
only under Internet Explorer. The property pages allow the web programmer to set
parameters that affect how the button will appear, which scent will be emitted, and the
strength of the emitted scent.
5.6.7 SCRIPTABLE CONTROL
A scriptable control will allow practically any application or event to emit
scents. This simple windowless control is designed for maximum script ability using
JScript, JavaScript and VB Script.
Netscape support is added via a Netscape plug-in with a programmatic
interface that is identical to the AxScentPlayer ActiveX (scriptable) control. This will
allow designers to implement click-and-sniff through the use of Netscape’s embed tag
and JavaScript. Flash games and animations can be scent enabled by using the
FSCommand method to incorporate scent into downloadable game content.
5.7 STREAMING SCENT: -
MICROSOFT ADVANCED STREAMING FORMAT (ASF)
Microsoft ASF streaming media is easy to scent enable using the scriptable
ActiveX control, this allows the use of the Windows Media File (WMF) tool chain for
authoring scent enabled streaming media over the Web.
5.8 REALNETWORKS: -
DigiScents is a development partner of RealNetworks and has developed a set
of player and server plug-ins enabling the RealPlayer to present scent-enabled
content. This plug-ins are included in the WDK v.1 release. The RealNetworks
ActiveX control and RealPlayer allow the presentation of singular ScentObjects as
well as aggregated groups of ScentObjects (ScentTracks) that play in synchronization
25
with other RealNetworks compatible data types. Scent streams are currently supported
in the Synchronized Media Integration Language, SMIL and will be supported in
major SMIL authoring tools shortly. This means that scent can be smoothly integrated
into RealPlayer or Real ActiveX media presentations using SMIL files as the
synchronization medium for parallel streams. Using the Real Networks ActiveX
method the designer can choose to either show or hide the controls transport interface
as opposed to the Real Player, which will always display its interface.
5.9 Smell-o-Vision!
"Smell-o-vision?" Just what are we talking about here? In the past century we
became used to the transmission of sights and sounds through the airwaves and via the
Internet. In essence, "transmission" of visual and auditory information relies on the
electronic coding of waves of electromagnetic energy (light waves) or of waves of
vibrations in a medium (sound waves), the sending of this coded information, the
decoding of this information in a receiver (radio, television, computer, etc.), and the
creation of new light or sound waves based on this information. But scents? Odors?
Smell and taste are the chemical senses. How do we transmit chemicals via the
Internet? Although the concept sending digitized scents via the Internet from
computer to computer may have seemed bizarre a few years ago, a number of
companies are creating hardware and software that will enable it (Biersdorfer, 2000;
Poniewozik, 2000). The in-theater version emits scents from machines located under
the back rows, basing the scent on the mood of the scene.

CHAPTER 6
WHERE IS iSmell
USED ?
Fig 6: kinds of smell emitted
According to Brian Nelson at DigiScents, "What kind of smells can be emitted by the
iSmell device? Just about anything you can imagine."
There are many applications for digital scent technology such as:
* send scented email
* watch scented DVD's
* play scented video games
* sample a perfume from a beauty product's website
* smell the assortment of freshly brewed coffees for sale in their online store .
6.1 Why Would You Want to Do This?
There are four basic types of applications that scentware seems a logic fit
for at the moment.
• Marketing
• Entertainment
• Education
• Medical
27
6.1.1Multisensory Marketing:
Death to Banner Ads - Let the Nose Lead the WayCommerce tends to lead
development, which is why some of the bigger scentware developers, like TriSenx,
are partnering with companies that just plain smell. Perfume manufactures are an
obvious fit. They would be able to benefit from doing market research across the net,
emailing you samples of some new fragrance they might be trying out to see how you
like it, and using your feedback to shape the final product. And the heck with scratch-
and-sniff cards in your favorite magazine. Now you’ll smell their latest and greatest
when arrive at your favorite women’s website or online boutique.
Other companies who’ve taken the bait besides the cosmetics,
fragrance, and health and industries? - restaurants and specialty food shops
who know the smell of pizza wafting out of your PC, or may be mom’s chocolate
chip cookies, will just be too much too resist. It adds a new dimension to the
point-of-sale marketing angle. You’re visiting a website that is known to attract
a large number of people from a particular demographics. The heck with
banner advertising when the marketer has a better way to get you hooked on
what they’re hocking.
6.1.2 Online Interactive Games
Imagine smelling the scent of an opponent in an interactive online role-playing
game or smelling the damp cave your character is trapped in. Games with scented
environments, entities and prizes are more immersive and realistic. Scented games
will soon be the standard in interactive media, just as games with sound became
prevalent as soundcards became common.
6.1.3 Communication
Scent offers developers as well as consumers another medium for creativity
and self-expression. Scented web sites, electronic greeting cards and e-mail will
28
enliven all e-communication. With iSmell technology, you can travel anywhere in the
world or to any time period in the past.
Fig 6.1.3 microsoft outlook web access
6.1.4 E-Commerce
Scent will bring the online shopping experience to life. Scent-enabled
shopping sites will be more compelling if you can actually smell perfume, flowers,
food and beverages, cigars, and exotic places.
Fig 6.1.4 scent
6.1.5 Advertising
Vendors of food, cosmetics, home care products, and travel related services
can use scent to make advertisements more engaging and memorable. Eventually, like
29
musical jingles and graphical logos, scented banner ads will make it possible to
communicate the key feature of scented products or to simply evoke a certain feeling
6.2 Effects of Digital Smell for Different Site
6.2.1 Over the Theater: -
After some time the virtual theaters will come in the market. This virtual
theater is basically the concept of the virtual reality. These theaters will have
electronic hand gloves, digital smell synthesizer, multipoint surround sound system,
movement controllable seats, 3d goggles. From this idea the multipoint surround
sound system, 3d goggles, movement controllable seats were completed. Now for the
user to fill more realistic effects of movies they were introducing the very new facility
of digital smell in movies or in games. For example if we are watching a movie and
we see burning of tier then we will fill that smell in theater.
Fig 6.2.1 smell in the theater
6.2.2 Over the Television: -
30
Now a days as new and new sound technology came in picture our home
television is changing, getting more and more powerful sound with it. After some
time over television will came will more clear picture, better voice as well as ismell
device, which will create more interest in watching the television.
6.2.3 Over the Internet
DigiScents technology will be used to add a new dimension to e-commerce
and entertainment technology: adding scent to movies, online advertising and
interactive games are just a few of the possibilities. "Online greeting cards will be one
of the first big plays. We digitize and broadcast scent over the Internet and analyze the
molecular structure and sensory perception of an odor and software-code it. The
iSmell is a peripheral that is the size of an electronic pencil sharpener; it connects to a
USB port. Its scent cartridge would be like a color printer cartridge but with 128 scent
elements to combine. These elements will combine to make thousands of scent
combinations. "Humans detect around 10,000 smells in their lifetimes. We're going to
create the primaries of smell. The company is also creating a Snortal, a first-of-its
kind Internet site on which people can create scented e-mail and their own custom
scents. Beta testing is currently under way, and final products will be released in fall
2002.
31
CHAPTER 7
ENTERTAINMENT
7.1 E-mail Alive with smell
Fig 7.1 E-mail alive smell
Of all the uses for scentware, this one scares be most the ability to send emails with
smells anybody can design. Sure, it’ll add a fun new dimension to birthday when you
can send an electronic postcard with nice music and a dozen roses that smell real, but
can you imagine the legions of alternatives your friends ( and others ) will opt for?
Dirty sneakers, wet dogs
May be worse assaults to your delicate sensibilities will be within the reach of email
artists and spammers alike.
32
There are, however, more creative uses of scentware in bringing to
life the stories we tell through more traditional mediums. Who’s looking at
smell-o-vision now? Movie theatres who want to top surround-sound are now
looking at mounting surround-smell devices on theatre chairs. This might be
great if you’re watching some nice, homey flick full of gardens and cherry pie,
but imagine watching one of tTom Green’s latest romps, complete to the way
that’ll have you out of your chair.
Of course there are also the movies you bring home. Will your next
DVD come complete with a soundtrack AND smelltrack?
For authors and music composers the idea of adding taste and smell to their
creative conjuring seems irresistible. Words can be powerful stimulators of imagined
tastes and smells, but the ability to bring those exact things to life may make the
electronic distribution of storytelling an even more tempting channel. Perhaps a
glimpse of the evolution of mega bookstores and internet cafes?
7.2 Education
Tapping Into Another Information Channel You need only to walk into a
bakery or popcorn-filled theatre to realize the powerful ability of smell to invoke
memory.
It’s this power that makes the addition of scent to the classroom
experience such an interesting new ally. I don’t know about you, but reading about
Shakespeare or Napoleon out of a textbook was rarely inspiring. Had you given me
the chance to “interact” with history through the sites, sounds tastes and smells of that
time, you’d probably have had me hooked.
Virtual field trips have become an invaluable tool for bringing
important experience into the classroom where time or geography may otherwise
prevent them. The addition of Smell is acknowledge as a tool that enhances the
memory of that experience, and amount of knowledge that is retained because of it.
7.3 Medical
33
A new Tool for Catching Degenerative Neurological Diseases Early
Aromatherapy will perhaps be one of the big drivers of home computer scentware
sales. In addition to ergonomically correct keyboards and mice, music while we work,
and even computer-based workouts to help you keep fit, you can now add smell to
your list of tools for increasing personal wellbeing. The benefits of aromatherapy go
beyond personal pleasure. It’s valued within
34
CHAPTER 8
FACILITIES AND LIMITATIONS
8.1 Facilities:
1. As we now that user can send any type of smell so the ismell is designed in
such a way that it will give protection against that smell.
2. The scent cartridges contain mostly natural materials commonly found in
the cosmetics, foods and beverages you use every day.
3. There might be possibility that user has allergy from any smell so for this
problem the ismell provides locking facility. So that user can lock that
particular smell which he doesn’t like.
35
8.2 Limitations:
The obvious one is the price. Most home computer users won’t be willing to pay the
$250-500+ price tag for the luxury of scratch-and-sniff websites. Some diehard game
fans may find the olfactory add-on a worthwhile boost to their multimedia experience,
but chances are this technology will find its first strong market in small kiosks and
other specialty shops.
While many fragrance manufacturers will find the ability to use
scentware for both market research and the generation of new sales, most of the
“ScentWare” application available today operate at a very simple level and aren’t
capable of reproducing the very complex protein level of molecule modeling that
commercial fragrances require. Specialty food marketers will face the same problem.
While pizza, popcorn and apple pie are already stock smells in a number of scentware
collections, exact replicas of some of the more complex “branded” foods that big
distributors want to entice you with just won’t be possible yet. While a few year’s old,
the technology is still immature, and will require a committed partners and reasonable
investment to customize the results in a way that’s suitable for companies whose
smell is their branding.
8.3 The Future of DigiScents
• Under their system a person could send an 'encoded' message from one
computer to another, and then person will get the message in the form of
smell. Then this smell will be cached by the input ismell device then given to
the translator which will translate these release chemicals to the message form.
• Virus could also be entered via these smell devices
8.4 The Present
Digiscents were awarded the “best technology “ prize during the Retail Vision
2001 ceremony, for the past ten years one of the major honor in the IT retailers
industry.
2,500 developers have already applied for the ScentWare Developers Kit
which was launched in March 2000 and is used to create “Scented games and
multimedia applications.
36
Wondering what will be the next product? How about tasting things
online may be!
37
CONCLUSION
A Scent has a strange power over human beings. It can create a mood, such as
foreshadowing or ambiance. It can intensify emotions such as fear or love. It can also
give the sensation of virtual reality and suspension of disbelief.
“The Sense of smell is closely tied to memory and emotion, making scent a
powerful way to reinforce ideas”.
There are several streams over which this digital smell is used, Such as over
the television, theater and the web. Hence we conclude that this digital smell will
revolutionized the world. And at every place we will require this device, such as for
scented mail, scented movies, scented songs we must requires this device.
This device will become our need in future.

  • 4. DIGITAL SMELL ABSTRACT The technology has so far targeted mainly our sense of sight and sound. To further enhance the virtual reality experience and another flavor to it, technology is now targeting your nose and tongue. The application area of virtual reality is vast- from normal entertainment to the Internet and e-commerce application. You will be able to smell product before buying them online. California-based Digiscents Inc. has developed the iSmell personal scent synthesizer. This small device connects through your pc via serial port and has its own driver. 4

Gone are the days when applications of computers were limited to official use only. Today computers have important place in every household purpose, and mainly internet has taken over whole world. There are various causes due to which computers have their own stand in our life. It provides a very good facility of fast processing, sound and picture. The virtual reality concept has provided very good features to the computer systems. The concept of virtual reality is introduced by the computer programmers to provide more attachments to the user. There are several concepts of the virtual reality that are available such as digital smell, virtual theater, electronics hand gloves, multipoint surround sound system, 3d goggles. The digital smell is basically a hardware software combination. The hardware part of digital smell will produce the smell, and the software part will evaluate the smell equation and generate specific signals for specific smell and finally that smell will be produced by the device. The hardware device is a device like speaker, like speaker this device is also connected to the computer system. For this device there is also a driver program which will evaluate the digital equation for generating specific gas. Fig: 1.1 Digital Smell 5
  • 6. Until now, online communication involved only three of our senses - hearing, touch, and sight. New technology is being developed to appeal to our sense of smell. DigiScents, an interactive media company, is creating iSmell Digital Scent Technology, new software which will enable scents to be broadcast from the Web. Coding of aromas would be downloaded to computer similar to graphics images as audible sounds. Ultimately users will be able to create and modify their own fragrances and post them on the internet (2000). Also discussed the potential for creating smell capture cameras, which could add fragrances coding to images and sounds. The "Savor the World" tagline illustrates the California-based company's aims to tap into the power of scent as a communication tool. "DigiScents combines the power of science with the fact that the sense of smell is as powerful and emotional trigger as any other sense," the Web site states. This new technology will make it possible to send and receive scented e-mails and to add scent elements to Web sites, to name just a few of its applications. In future these devices will play very well role in our life, such as in Theater, Televisions, internet etc. 1.1 Evolution Of Digital Smell 1.1.1 How it was Invented As we know that many scientists have started for the virtual reality from the last 5 to 6 years. As a virtual reality they have got a full concept as virtual theater. These theaters consist of an electronic hand gloves, digital smell, multipoint surround sound system, movement controllable seats, 3d goggles. From this idea the multipoint surround sound system, 3d goggles, movement controllable seats were completed. Now for the user to fill more realistic effects of movies they were introducing the very new facility of digital smell in movies or in games. For example if we are watching a movie and we see burning of tier then we will fill that smell in theater or pc or television. The basic idea for this was given by the perfume making companies for the advertisements of their perfumes. 6
  • 7. 1.1.2 Founders Founders Dexster Smith and Joel Lloyd Bellenson, experts in bioinformatics and genomics, started from the following idea: “If we can find the essence of a biological smell and build a profile, we can digitalize and broadcast it.” They came up with the idea for the company while they were in South Beach. Using their scientific knowledge, they indexed and analyzed natural smells said to be common to South Beach such as flowers, salt water, and suntan lotion. 7
  • 8. CHAPTER 2 DIGITAL AROMA Traditionally one has said that we have five senses, recent studies indicate that we have at least eleven and some specialists still consider more. Of the main ones (Vista, ear, tact, taste and sense of smell), our nose is possibly the one that has more relegated in our sensitive surroundings, since all the technology and the world that surrounds to us attacks the Vista and the ear, but rare time we found some attempt to approach the sense of smell. So far, computers work with only 3 out of 5 senses. 2.1 SIGHT: Our eyes are our windows to the world, thus it is no surprise that sight is used the most out of the five perceptual senses. This is why the visual presentation of advertisements is crucial to the success of the direct marketing campaign. In classic mass advertising, the goal is to generate awareness. An ad is placed in a magazine or on television in which the primitive components such as lines, colors, and shapes are combined to formulate a consumer’s perception. Then the consumer either imprints this perception in their mind or totally forgets about the ad. If the consumer remembers the ad and then purchases the product, the ad is a success. It is this recognition, our ability to place an object in a category and give it meaning, that mass advertisers rely upon. Direct marketing has the advantage of presenting a product or service directly to the consumer. The consumer can instantaneously recognize what the product is and what they are being asked to do. If the piece is successful then the consumer will take action and purchase the product or seek out additional information. The phase between recognition and action is where direct marketers can influence the consumer in taking the next step to make the desired response. Video controllers now produce 24 bit color, a far cry from the 16 color CGA monitors from the past. John Carmack wants us to go up to 64 bit color for greater visual "realness". 8
  • 9. 2.2 SOUND: Vibrations that travel through a medium produce sound. Sound must travel through three main parts of the ear; the outer, middle and inner ear before it reaches the neural processing center of the brain. When direct marketers are educated on how sound can affect consumer behavior it can be a very powerful tool to create effective advertisement campaigns. One aspect of sound that has always been successful in ad campaigns is the use of music. Today, music is a contributing factor to developing corporate brand identity for companies. Music fills the background and creates an identity for space. For example, British Airlines uses the new age music of Yanni to produce a sense of ethereal escape and adventure. While United Airlines uses the American musical classic, "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin to aid in creating their identity. Today's surround sound speakers and sound cards are extremely well developed, you can hear echoes, and pretty much tell where something is from how the sounds reach your ears. 2.3 TOUCH: Touch is the sensory stimulation that a person feels when something comes into contact with the skin. These stimulators perceive different types of sensations including temperature, vibrations, textures etc. Touch is a significant factor when direct marketing is involved because it plays a role in many different aspects within the effectiveness of the marketing strategy. Any direct marketing mail piece requires the consumer to physically handle paper. This simple medium is an important tool in the overall perception of the offer. Businesses can become very particular when deciding the type of paper to include the offer on. A textured paper that is heavier in weight is perceived to be of better quality than the basic thin, light-weight paper. Very much in its infancy, force feedback game controllers give us a small sampling of touch 2.4 SMELL: 9
  • 10. Our use of scent in the environment has currently become quite an issue in society. It has become such an issue in different regions of the world, that companies are required to carefully plan the use of scent in their direct marketing campaigns. In today's advertising frenzy more companies are realizing that the major advantage of direct marketing is the ability to be a three-dimensional advertising medium, appealing to all five of the senses. Sense of smell is the ability to detect odors. As humans, we are limited to the sensation of seven basic odors and their combinations. Although not as highly developed as in various other mammals, this perceptual sense can have a significant impact on how we perceive different objects and messages. Like Sherlock Holmes' Watson says, "there's nothing like a good sniff". Smell is the only sense that cannot be turned off. A person smells all of the time and with every breath, as often as 20,000 times a day. There are over 400 000 odors in the world, and it has been proved that they can significantly influence individuals, and more importantly, consumer's moods and behaviors. The sense of smell is closely tied to memory and emotion, making scent a powerful way to reinforce ideas. “If a picture is worth a thousand words, a scent is worth a thousand pictures.” 2.5 TASTE: Taste is the physiological perception of flavor. Sweet, salty, bitter and sour are the four true tastes that we are able to perceive, and it is the combination of these different flavorful sensations that entices us to want more. The increased complexity of a flavor tends to generate a unique and memorable experience. This means that when two or more true tastes are stimulated simultaneously, the complete flavor and sensation of a food becomes memorable and can be related toward a specific product brand. Beyond the physiological need for nourishment, food has become a direct way for people to satisfy their unfulfilled desires. Foods and flavors from around the world give people the opportunity to experience alternate cultures and to travel without leaving their home. The tastes of home cooked meals evoke happy emotions and memories of the “good old days,” while chocolate are often used as an alternative to sexual desires. 10
  • 11. CHAPTER 3 DIGITAL SCENT TECHNOLOGY Imagine being able to smell things using a device that connects to your computer. Like a new language, this technology is a new set of tools for self- expression, communication, and commerce. It includes software components and a peripheral device called the Personal Scent Synthesizer. Digiscents don't plan on designing the games and other platforms themselves. As well as the synthesizers, they've been creating the soft and hardware that game producers will need to mix and incorporate scents into their latest offerings. Part of that is "Reminiscent", a database of standard smells. These odors will be licensed to developers for integration into games, websites and advertisements and so on. The company promises that by this summer, they will be flying their flag at the world's first scent-enabled Web portal, dubbed "The Snortal". Visitors will be able to send "Scent Mail", design and register their own smells and swap aroma tracks to their favorite music clips; just like computer gamers circulate custom-designed 'skins' for their favorite titles. Fig: 3 Digital smell recorder 11
  • 12. “We’re going to be the Microsoft of smell.” Said one Digiscents insider. Digiscents is apparently in discussions with at least one major game developer. So we truly may be close to a time when you’ll smell those zombies just as they sneak up to devour your brains.

Such as ismell is device used to produce the gas using computer. Fig 3.1 smell synthesizer There are various types of smell synthesizers available in the market, but for computer the smell synthesizer is made by digiscents industry. 3.2 ISMELL: - The iSmell is a peripheral device, about the size of a PC speaker that connects to a PC via a serial or USB port. It uses consumable cartridges which are used and replaced similar to the way ink jet printers use ink cartridges. It emits natural-based vapors into the user’s personal space. ISmell is triggered either on demand by the user 12
  • 13. (via a keyboard or mouse action) or via a timed or programmed response (as is the case with a DVD ScentTrack). The company’s technology turns smells into digital codes that can be stored on laser discs or as computer files, and can even be e-mailed. The iSmell device reads a digital scent file, creates a smell from a “palette’’ of 128 chemicals stored in a cartridge, and then wafts into the air with a small fan. DEGISCENTS ISMELL VERSION I Fig 3.2 ismell (version 1) SPECIFICATIONS: 1.It has cartridge of 128 chemicals which is able to produce 10,000 smells 13
  • 14. 2.To active this device for computer it will require a driver program called as ScentStream. DIGISCENTS ISMELL VERSION II:- Fig 3.2.1 ismell (version 2) 3.3 Cartridge: - The cartridge will contain chemicals -- either natural oils or synthetic fragrances -- that will be activated by either heat or air pressure, when you send a signal from your computer. The digital smell device could add another sensory dimension to the sights and sounds of a computer game. Currently 128 chemicals are stored in a cartridge. Similar to an ink jet printer, those oils form the core of a 14
  • 15. replaceable cartridge, which is inserted in the company's iSmell device. The oils are electrically stimulated in different combinations to create specific smells in response to software prompts programmed into applications such as Web site features, computer games, digital music, and movies. But after some time as user will be more familiar with these smells the cartridge will come in market in which you can add chemicals as many as you want. They are still investigating all the scent combinations that are currently possible with the iSmell device. As the technology becomes more refined, more and more scents and scent combinations will be possible. Fig 3.3 Cartridge "The idea would be to have a box about the size of a small speaker that would be connected to your computer and within that box is this cartridge of odors, having a hundred different small chambers in it, and then on command from the computer, you can choose various odors within that hundred, to be mixed up together and then puffed gently out of this port where you can smell it." 3.4 Scentography: - Scentography is a new form of expression that allows the integration of scents with traditional digital multimedia, such as games, DVDs, and web sites. By allowing you to communicate with smells, Scentography adds a new dimension and richness to web pages and virtually any other form of electronic/digital communication. The capability to digitize and broadcast scents will enable vendors and consumers to send 15
  • 16. scented mail, establish smell 'n shop electronic kiosks, make and watch scented DVDs, and play scented games and simulations. Scentography promises a vast extension of sensory space, with profound implications. "We've lost touch, as a species, with our sense of smell," Bellenson says, speaking so rapidly that his words run together. "Like, our noses are not on the ground anymore, because we don't have to hunt for food. Scent became an art perpetuated by the big fragrance houses in Europe, and the average person was not empowered. 16
  • 17. CHAPTER 4 BROADCASTING OF SMELL Fig 4 : principles of digiscent,s ismell system 4.1 Digitized Scent. A scent is indexed along two parameters, its chemical makeup and its place in the scent”spectrum”,and then digitized into a small file. 4.2 Broadcast. The digital file is scent, attached to enhanced web content. 4.3 Synthesize. DigiScent’s iSmell, which connects to the user’s computer like a set of speakers, synthesis the smell from a palette of “primary odours”, following the guidelines of the digital file. iSmell technology turns smell into digital codes that can be stored on laser discs or as computer files, and it can even be emailed. It reads the digital scent file, creates a smell from a ”palette” of 128 chemicals stored in a cartridge, which wafts into the air with a small fan. 17
  • 18. 4.4 The complete product: DigiScents is developing a complete solution for scent-enabling the Internet and all forms of digital media, including: iSmell Personal Scent Synthesizer: A computer peripheral device which recreates Scent Objects by mixing and releasing one or more of 128 scents. The device includes replaceable cartridges similar to those used in color printers. 4.4.1 ScentPalette Cartridges: Consider cartridges contained inside the iSmell device. The cartridges are filled with over one hundred different fragrant materials that are emitted alone or incombination. In addition to the general purpose of Scent Palette there is a possibility of creating industry Specific cartridges for every thing from fragrances and food to games and movies. 18
  • 19. CHAPTER 5 WHAT IS “ScentWare” AND HOW DOES IT WORK? Fig 5 : senxware software for designing fragrances “Sentware” is a combination of SoftWare and Hardware. There are two types of software. One allows you to “Design” your own custom fragrances, and the other allows you to receive the codes for a custom scent and have them activate a spray device so you can smell it. The design software is often as simple as a web page with pictures of familiar scents (apple pie, popcorn, fresh rain, flowers) that you can “drag” with your mouse into a virtual beaker and mix. The combinations you choose can be saved as a custom fragrance, which gets stored as “codes” to be passed to a spray device. The spray device is a piece of hardware that can be plugged into one of the serial ports of your computer, the way a printer plugs in. This device has a disposable 19
  • 20. cartridge with a number of chambers inside, each containing a chemical compound that can be mixed with others to match the custom scent you’ve created. ScentMixers are basically programs that will allow the developers to create their own aromas for multimedia. Once the product is available on the Mac platform, consumers will be able to use the ScentMixer Scent Creation Software, which allows you to create your own scents. 5.1 SNORTAL: - Snortal will be the Internet's first a scent-enabled Web portal. Visiting the Snortal, you will be able to send scented e-mail, design and register your own smells, and create and share ScentTracks for your favorite movies and music. The Snortal was developed for DigiScents as a portal to scented products, features, and entertainment. I collaborated closely with the president, CEO, marketing and sales teams, a technical lead, and a creative lead to develop this interface. The goal was to create a space where people of all ages can feel as though they are on vacation, having fun. The look was appropriated into all marketing collateral, including press folders and greeting cards. 5.2 SCENT REGISTRY: - To ensure odor authenticity, DigiScent has created a ``Scent Registry,'' a digital index of thousands of scents that the company will license to developers to integrate into games, Web sites, advertisements, movies and music. There is real science behind all this. Bellenson, who once ran a Stanford University lab specializing in DNA synthesis, has drawn up models for the way odor molecules bind with the some 10 million odor-detecting neurons on a human nose, a step toward establishing the Scent Registry that will underpin the concept. DigiScent's founders hope that by licensing their scent spectrum, they will create a world of smells for the Internet generation – perfumes you can smell online, 20
  • 21. computer games with the whiff of the jungle or the tang of jet fuel, movies that give audiences the scents of an autumn bonfire. 5.3 DATA BASE REMINISCENTS: - ScentObjets can be incorporated in many applications multimedia, for which a license will be required. Whatever the smell that we are the license for can be entered in the ReminiScents data base file. 5.4 SCENTTRACKS: - ScentTracks is software. By using this software you can edit the smell, create the smell, create scented greeting cards, add smell for the movies or songs for all these operation there are some tools are given which user can use. File menu: In this file menu they have given new, open, close, save, save as, search, exit, etc. By these new menu of the ScentTracks user can create several new smells. He has provided certain chemical reaction and on that basic he can easily create smell. By these save and save as menu user can save these smell in the form of chemical reaction. Greeting menu: In this menu user has provided the tools used for greetings menu. Such as pictures as clip art, word art, chart, etc. The created smell or ready smell can be attached to the greeting. Such that when greeting opens it will produce the sweet smell. Editor: In editor menu they have given the editor for both the movies as well as for songs. By using this editor you can add and delete smell at a particular place in a movie or song. So that when that song continues at particular place it will produce that inserted smell. But for that we require different players. Currently they were making “Real Player” for that smell. 21
  • 22. 5.5 SDK: - Set of tools to create content with aroma, includes ReminiScents Database, API and DLL of iSmell and him servant and client of ScentStream. The fields that could be seen modified are the entertainment, foods, fragrances and fashion, home and hygiene, science, technology, trips and education, since it would be possible to be induced knowledge or to be forced reactions through the aroma, which can mean the following revolution. Although the expectation is very interesting, we must hope to see if this technology really takes force, since it will have to break with several paradigms of the user with respect to his form to visualize the multimedia. To see when it is the turn of the Virtual reality? Digiscents Launched a Scentware Developers Kit -- Sdk -- at Game Developers Conference. The SDK is incredibly easy to implement, we expect to see an explosion of scent enabled content. “Using the ScentWare(TM) SDK, a developer can scent enable a game within an hour,” said DigiScents Director of ScentStream(TM) Technology, Cooksey Thomas, who previously developed the Sega Dreamcast's audio API. "The SDK contains all we need to create killer scented games that allow gamers to smell environments, entities, and prizes." EXAMPLES: - Examples of scent associations that can be coded into game ScentTracks(TM) are: -- Worlds and Environments (a cave, the beach, forest, watering hole) -- Entities (Lara Croft's perfume, smell of hidden Pokemon(R), the odor of the enemy) -- Prizes (bananas, coins, elixirs) -- User Actions (invoking magic, firing a gun) -- Events (tires melting, explosion, change of weather) The ScentWare(TM) SDK features: -- 1 Intelligent Scent Rendering – 2 Adjustable Scent Parameters – 3 ReminiScents(TM) Database of ScentObjects(TM) – 4 iSmell(TM) Emulator – 22
  • 23. 5.6 WDK: - The ScentWare Web Development Kit (WDK) gives you the tools to provide unforgettable scented online experiences. Scenting your Web site is fast and easy with the ScentWare WDK. Using your favorite leading web editing tools, you can add ambient and click 'n' sniff scents to your web site or flash presentation in just minutes. The only hard part about scenting your web site is choosing between chocolate, orange, pine forest, the ocean, perfume, flowers, new car…the list goes on. 5.6.1 WDK Ingredients: - • 2 ScentWare ActiveX controls • ScentWare Netscape plug-in • Flash presentation support • RealNetworks plug-in • Adjustable scent parameters • Example scented web pages • Full documentation & discussion forum and support 5.6.2 Technical Overview: A WDK That Makes Scents The DigiScents Web Developers Kit or WDK is a group of interoperable components that allow Web designers to implement click-and-sniff Web pages using a variety of methods. Components can be used within Web pages targeted for either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The kit includes a scriptable Netscape Plug- in Control that can be used to target Netscape Navigator browsers and two ActiveX Controls that can be used to target Internet Explorer browsers. As development progresses all of the media players and major browsers will be supported. The WDK v.1 release will allow web designers to experiment with the enabling technologies and prepare content now in order that it will be available when the iSmell becomes available to mass consumers. A number of licensing options are available to allow commercial enterprises of all sizes to participate in the Revolution of the Senses™. To allow the designers to preview their work the WDK comes with a software emulation 23
  • 24. of the iSmell device, the emulation appears as a message dialog box that names the scent emitted and its intensity. Web art can be scented in many different ways. 5.6.3 CLICK 'N' SNIFF This method causes the user’s iSmell device to emit a scent when any scent- enabled element is clicked. Click ‘n’ sniff can be implemented by using any of the ScentWare WDK components. 5.6.4 AMBIENT SCENTS Pages can also automatically emit scents either when the page is loaded creating an ambient scent on rollover or on a timer using JavaScript. 5.6.5 SCENTED MULTIMEDIA Any Web technology that supports scripting i.e. Flash, Shockwave, Director, Microsoft Media player etc.. Can use a scripted implementation of the ActiveX control. DigiScents has created two ActiveX controls to meet different web page design needs. 5.6.6 GRAPHICAL BUTTON CONTROL A richly configurable, graphical button control named AxScent Button leverages all graphical web page development tools. This control only supports Internet Explorer and provides a rich set of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) property page settings for the web designer. The rich button supports multiple button states, styles and colors. The button can also be used as a non-scented button for maximum artistic design flexibility. Using a design time container such as Go Live, Dream weaver, FrontPage, among others, the designer has access to the control’s graphical and scent property pages. The button control inherits its default color and font values from the page into which it is inserted. The control may have to be added to the toolbox of your particular authoring tool and will generally be 24
  • 25. available under the category of ActiveX controls. Currently this control is supported only under Internet Explorer. The property pages allow the web programmer to set parameters that affect how the button will appear, which scent will be emitted, and the strength of the emitted scent. 5.6.7 SCRIPTABLE CONTROL A scriptable control will allow practically any application or event to emit scents. This simple windowless control is designed for maximum script ability using JScript, JavaScript and VB Script. Netscape support is added via a Netscape plug-in with a programmatic interface that is identical to the AxScentPlayer ActiveX (scriptable) control. This will allow designers to implement click-and-sniff through the use of Netscape’s embed tag and JavaScript. Flash games and animations can be scent enabled by using the FSCommand method to incorporate scent into downloadable game content. 5.7 STREAMING SCENT: - MICROSOFT ADVANCED STREAMING FORMAT (ASF) Microsoft ASF streaming media is easy to scent enable using the scriptable ActiveX control, this allows the use of the Windows Media File (WMF) tool chain for authoring scent enabled streaming media over the Web. 5.8 REALNETWORKS: - DigiScents is a development partner of RealNetworks and has developed a set of player and server plug-ins enabling the RealPlayer to present scent-enabled content. This plug-ins are included in the WDK v.1 release. The RealNetworks ActiveX control and RealPlayer allow the presentation of singular ScentObjects as well as aggregated groups of ScentObjects (ScentTracks) that play in synchronization 25
  • 26. with other RealNetworks compatible data types. Scent streams are currently supported in the Synchronized Media Integration Language, SMIL and will be supported in major SMIL authoring tools shortly. This means that scent can be smoothly integrated into RealPlayer or Real ActiveX media presentations using SMIL files as the synchronization medium for parallel streams. Using the Real Networks ActiveX method the designer can choose to either show or hide the controls transport interface as opposed to the Real Player, which will always display its interface. 5.9 Smell-o-Vision! "Smell-o-vision?" Just what are we talking about here? In the past century we became used to the transmission of sights and sounds through the airwaves and via the Internet. In essence, "transmission" of visual and auditory information relies on the electronic coding of waves of electromagnetic energy (light waves) or of waves of vibrations in a medium (sound waves), the sending of this coded information, the decoding of this information in a receiver (radio, television, computer, etc.), and the creation of new light or sound waves based on this information. But scents? Odors? Smell and taste are the chemical senses. How do we transmit chemicals via the Internet? Although the concept sending digitized scents via the Internet from computer to computer may have seemed bizarre a few years ago, a number of companies are creating hardware and software that will enable it (Biersdorfer, 2000; Poniewozik, 2000). The in-theater version emits scents from machines located under the back rows, basing the scent on the mood of the scene. Fig 5.9 A compact smell vision machine 26
  • 27. CHAPTER 6 WHERE IS iSmell USED ? Fig 6: kinds of smell emitted According to Brian Nelson at DigiScents, "What kind of smells can be emitted by the iSmell device? Just about anything you can imagine." There are many applications for digital scent technology such as: * send scented email * watch scented DVD's * play scented video games * sample a perfume from a beauty product's website * smell the assortment of freshly brewed coffees for sale in their online store . 6.1 Why Would You Want to Do This? There are four basic types of applications that scentware seems a logic fit for at the moment. • Marketing • Entertainment • Education • Medical 27
  • 28. 6.1.1Multisensory Marketing: Death to Banner Ads - Let the Nose Lead the WayCommerce tends to lead development, which is why some of the bigger scentware developers, like TriSenx, are partnering with companies that just plain smell. Perfume manufactures are an obvious fit. They would be able to benefit from doing market research across the net, emailing you samples of some new fragrance they might be trying out to see how you like it, and using your feedback to shape the final product. And the heck with scratch- and-sniff cards in your favorite magazine. Now you’ll smell their latest and greatest when arrive at your favorite women’s website or online boutique. Other companies who’ve taken the bait besides the cosmetics, fragrance, and health and industries? - restaurants and specialty food shops who know the smell of pizza wafting out of your PC, or may be mom’s chocolate chip cookies, will just be too much too resist. It adds a new dimension to the point-of-sale marketing angle. You’re visiting a website that is known to attract a large number of people from a particular demographics. The heck with banner advertising when the marketer has a better way to get you hooked on what they’re hocking. 6.1.2 Online Interactive Games Imagine smelling the scent of an opponent in an interactive online role-playing game or smelling the damp cave your character is trapped in. Games with scented environments, entities and prizes are more immersive and realistic. Scented games will soon be the standard in interactive media, just as games with sound became prevalent as soundcards became common. 6.1.3 Communication Scent offers developers as well as consumers another medium for creativity and self-expression. Scented web sites, electronic greeting cards and e-mail will 28
  • 29. enliven all e-communication. With iSmell technology, you can travel anywhere in the world or to any time period in the past. Fig 6.1.3 microsoft outlook web access 6.1.4 E-Commerce Scent will bring the online shopping experience to life. Scent-enabled shopping sites will be more compelling if you can actually smell perfume, flowers, food and beverages, cigars, and exotic places. Fig 6.1.4 scent 6.1.5 Advertising Vendors of food, cosmetics, home care products, and travel related services can use scent to make advertisements more engaging and memorable. Eventually, like 29
  • 30. musical jingles and graphical logos, scented banner ads will make it possible to communicate the key feature of scented products or to simply evoke a certain feeling 6.2 Effects of Digital Smell for Different Site 6.2.1 Over the Theater: - After some time the virtual theaters will come in the market. This virtual theater is basically the concept of the virtual reality. These theaters will have electronic hand gloves, digital smell synthesizer, multipoint surround sound system, movement controllable seats, 3d goggles. From this idea the multipoint surround sound system, 3d goggles, movement controllable seats were completed. Now for the user to fill more realistic effects of movies they were introducing the very new facility of digital smell in movies or in games. For example if we are watching a movie and we see burning of tier then we will fill that smell in theater. Fig 6.2.1 smell in the theater 6.2.2 Over the Television: - 30
  • 31. Now a days as new and new sound technology came in picture our home television is changing, getting more and more powerful sound with it. After some time over television will came will more clear picture, better voice as well as ismell device, which will create more interest in watching the television. 6.2.3 Over the Internet DigiScents technology will be used to add a new dimension to e-commerce and entertainment technology: adding scent to movies, online advertising and interactive games are just a few of the possibilities. "Online greeting cards will be one of the first big plays. We digitize and broadcast scent over the Internet and analyze the molecular structure and sensory perception of an odor and software-code it. The iSmell is a peripheral that is the size of an electronic pencil sharpener; it connects to a USB port. Its scent cartridge would be like a color printer cartridge but with 128 scent elements to combine. These elements will combine to make thousands of scent combinations. "Humans detect around 10,000 smells in their lifetimes. We're going to create the primaries of smell. The company is also creating a Snortal, a first-of-its kind Internet site on which people can create scented e-mail and their own custom scents. Beta testing is currently under way, and final products will be released in fall 2002. 31

Movie theatres who want to top surround-sound are now looking at mounting surround-smell devices on theatre chairs. This might be great if you’re watching some nice, homey flick full of gardens and cherry pie, but imagine watching one of tTom Green’s latest romps, complete to the way that’ll have you out of your chair. Of course there are also the movies you bring home. Will your next DVD come complete with a soundtrack AND smelltrack? For authors and music composers the idea of adding taste and smell to their creative conjuring seems irresistible. Words can be powerful stimulators of imagined tastes and smells, but the ability to bring those exact things to life may make the electronic distribution of storytelling an even more tempting channel. Perhaps a glimpse of the evolution of mega bookstores and internet cafes? 7.2 Education Tapping Into Another Information Channel You need only to walk into a bakery or popcorn-filled theatre to realize the powerful ability of smell to invoke memory. It’s this power that makes the addition of scent to the classroom experience such an interesting new ally. I don’t know about you, but reading about Shakespeare or Napoleon out of a textbook was rarely inspiring. Had you given me the chance to “interact” with history through the sites, sounds tastes and smells of that time, you’d probably have had me hooked.
