Reproduction of scent and video at remote site using odor sensing system and olfactory display together with camera

We propose the new system for scent reproduction at remote site together with video. The odor is identified using odor sensing system and the result is transferred via Internet to the remote site, where the identified smell is regenerated using an olfactory display. It is also possible to reproduce the odor concentration change. Users can sniff the smell in real time at the location away from the odor source, simultaneously watching a video around the odor source. We did the experiment on the teleolfaction between our campus and Tokyo Big Sights. The questionnaire survey revealed that our system provided the good performance of the teleolfaction. The proposed system can enhance the reality when smell is attached to the video.
