Digital scent technology

From VR & AR Wiki
More actions

Digital scent technology is the use of computer-controlled hardware to release odors in synchrony with digital media such as films, games and virtual reality environments. In research the devices are usually called olfactory displays: Jordan Tewell and Nimesha Ranasinghe, in a 2024 review in ACM Computing Surveys, define them as "technologies that generate and deliver scent stimuli" to the human olfactory organ in virtual environments.[1] Applied to VR the field is also called olfactory virtual reality.[2]

Mechanical scent effects predate computers. Morton Heilig's Sensorama, patented in 1962, released odors cued by its film, and the competing cinema systems Smell-O-Vision and AromaRama piped perfumes into theaters in 1959 and 1960.[3][4] Computer peripherals such as DigiScents' iSmell (2001) did not reach the market.[5] Since the late 1990s, laboratory studies have tested whether smell adds to presence and memory in virtual environments, and several companies have built scent modules that attach to a head-mounted display, mostly as developer kits, business products or crowdfunded projects. Unlike the visual, auditory and tactile channels, olfaction is "a nonlinear chemical sense", which makes precise control of odor generation and delivery difficult.[6]

How it works

A typical olfactory display combines a store of odorants, a way of releasing them on command, and a way of carrying the scented air to the user's nose, with timing driven by the software that renders the virtual scene. Published systems differ mainly in where the odor is released.

  • Room-scale and environmental delivery. Early cinema systems and many laboratory set-ups scent a whole space or seat, using air ducts, diffusers or olfactometers. The Sensorama patent describes odor vessels whose wicks were lifted by an electromagnet on a signal from the film, after which a blower carried the odor through ducts to the viewer's hood.[3] Smell-O-Vision piped odors through plastic tubing to individual theater seats, triggered by signals on the film's soundtrack.[4] For research, Ischer and colleagues built an odor delivery system for an immersive VR laboratory with limited cross-contamination between odorant streams and odor delivery in under 500 ms, synchronizable with pictures, videos or sounds.[7]
  • Projected scent. A research group led by Yasuyuki Yanagida used an air cannon (vortex cannon) to fire small rings of scented air at a user, aiming for a display that was both unencumbering and localized so that different users could receive different smells. The group measured vortex rings travelling at least 4 to 5 m.[8]
  • Screen-anchored scent. The Smelling Screen from the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology vaporized odors from gel pellets into four air streams at the corners of an LCD screen; varying the streams moved a virtual odor source to an arbitrary position on the display.[9][10]
  • Wearable, near-nose delivery. VR accessories such as VAQSO VR and OVR Technology's ION place a scent unit on the headset, close to the nose.[11][12] Liu et al. note that wearable odor generators create a personal, localized odor environment that avoids interference between odors and long switching times. Their 2023 system from City University of Hong Kong placed miniaturized odor generators directly on the upper lip or inside a face mask.[13]
  • Electrical stimulation. Some researchers bypass chemical odorants for part of the sensation. A 2021 device by Jas Brooks, Pedro Lopes and colleagues stimulated the trigeminal nerve through electrodes worn across the nasal septum to convey an odor's intensity and direction.[14]

Smell has no equivalent of the red, green and blue primaries that a visual display mixes. Yanagida's group noted that the number of human olfactory detectors is considered to be in the thousands, so "it is difficult to code the odorants as the mixture of small number of 'primary odors'", and chose to focus on display hardware rather than odor synthesis.[8] The commercial devices described below store their scents in replaceable cartridges, capsules or cassettes.

History

Cinema precursors

Heilig filed his patent for the "Sensorama Simulator" on 10 January 1961, and it was issued on 28 August 1962. The patent provides several removable odor vessels on a common board, each selected by its own electrical signal so that different aromas could be released at different points in a film.[3]

Two scented film systems reached theaters at about the same time. AromaRama, developed by Charles Weiss, opened with Behind the Great Wall in December 1959 and pumped perfumes through the auditorium's air-conditioning.[15][4] Smell-O-Vision, developed by the Swiss scientist Hans Laube at the request of producer Mike Todd Jr., premiered with Scent of Mystery in Chicago on 6 January 1960.[4] According to Popular Science, odors did not reach every seat on cue, lingered and merged, and the release mechanism produced an audible hiss.[15] The AFI catalog records that Todd later called the process "nothing more than a novelty gimmick" and that a reverse pump to clear the air between scents was not developed until after the film's third opening.[4]

Computer peripherals

DigiScents was founded in February 1999 by Joel Bellenson and Dexster Smith. Its iSmell device held vials of scented oils that were heated and fanned out through a vent, combining "primary odors" into other scents; the company raised US$20 million and ceased operations in late 2001.[16] In 2006, PC World ranked the iSmell 24th in its list of the 25 worst tech products of all time, noting that it never progressed beyond the prototype stage.[5]

Olfactory displays in VR research

In a study presented at IEEE Virtual Reality 1999, Huong Q. Dinh, Neff Walker, Larry F. Hodges, Chang Song and Akira Kobayashi tested 322 participants and found that adding tactile, olfactory and auditory cues to a virtual environment increased both the sense of presence and memory of the environment, while increasing visual detail did not.[17]

Yanagida's scent projector went through several prototypes between 2003 and 2006. The second added an image-based nose tracker on a two-degree-of-freedom platform and was shown at SIGGRAPH 2003; the third added scent switching, described in an IEEE VR 2004 paper. Because the vortex ring hit users with an unexpectedly strong gust, the group then aimed two air cannons so that their rings collided and broke apart near the user, leaving a "spot" of scent. This system, SpotScents, was demonstrated at SIGGRAPH 2005 Emerging Technologies and published at IEEE VR 2006.[8] The Smelling Screen was demonstrated at IEEE VR 2013 in Orlando.[9]

VR headset accessories

Several companies have made scent attachments for consumer headsets. In 2015 FeelReal listed its mask for the Oculus Rift DK2 and other headsets.[18]

Device Maker Year Form and scents Status
FeelReal mask FeelReal GDC 2015 Mask attachment; the 2015 version had a removable cartridge with 7 smells, the 2019 version a cartridge of 9 aroma capsules chosen from 255 scents, plus heat, wind, water mist and vibration[18][19] Funded on Kickstarter in 2019; shipping postponed, last campaign update November 2020[20]
VAQSO VR VAQSO Inc. 2018 (developer kit) Bar-shaped unit under the headset; five replaceable cartridges, 15 scented oils available in 2018[21][11] Developer kit at US$999 (2018)[21]
ION, ION 3 OVR Technology 2020 (Architecture of Scent platform) Cartridge unit that snaps onto a VR headset over the nose; ION 3 connects by Bluetooth to a phone, PC or headset[12][22] In 2022 sold to organizations rather than individual consumers, mainly in healthcare, training and wellness[12]
Omara Pro OVR Technology 2026 (planned) Pocket-sized display with a 16-channel scent cassette, for PC, mobile and VR[23] US$649; release window Q4 2026, in design-for-manufacturing stage as of October 2026[24][25]

FeelReal. In March 2015 UploadVR reported that FeelReal was bringing its mask to the GDC, listing support for the Oculus Rift DK2, Samsung Gear VR, Sony's Project Morpheus and Zeiss VR One and taking pre-orders at US$249.99.[18] Its Kickstarter campaign ran from 9 April to 10 May 2019 and raised US$140,794 from 561 backers against a US$20,000 goal.[20] The campaign quoted a US$299 retail price and an estimated delivery of August 2019.[19] Road to VR reported that the 255-scent library was designed by the Kiev-based perfumer Bogdan Zubchenko and that the 2019 mask was meant to fit the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PlayStation VR, Oculus Go and Gear VR.[26] Tom's Hardware noted that FeelReal had prepared aroma sets for games including Beat Saber and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.[27] In November 2019 the company postponed shipping, citing a possible US ban on flavored vaping liquids; it said its aroma liquids had to get the same US certification as non-nicotine vaping liquids. In December 2019 it told backers that, because the mask was "technically a vaping device", it had to begin a new round of testing to get permission for mass production. Later updates blamed COVID-19 closures at its Chinese partner factories. The final update, posted on 6 November 2020, described the project as "still on hold".[28] An archived copy of the campaign page from September 2026 still lists 6 November 2020 as the last update.[20]

VAQSO. VAQSO Inc. describes its device as about the size of a candy bar; it attaches to the bottom of a headset, magnetically through a supplied cradle, and is compatible with Unity.[11] In 2018 New Atlas reported that the 125-gram developer kit was attached to the user's head with an adjustable velcro strap, communicated with the headset by micro USB or Bluetooth, cost US$999 with five refillable cartridges, and could be loaded from 15 scents, among them ocean, gunpowder, forest, coffee and "zombie".[21]

OVR Technology. OVR Technology was founded in 2017 and is based in Burlington, Vermont.[24] In September 2020 Vermont Business Magazine reported that the company would show its newly released Architecture of Scent platform, described as combining hardware, software and "scentware", at the VRARA Global Summit.[29] Its ION device snapped onto a VR headset over the nose; in 2022 Vermont Public reported that the company focused on business clients, including the "Inhale" program used at an addiction treatment facility in Burlington and scenarios for first responder and military training.[12] The company announced ION 3 at CES 2023.[22] As of October 2026, OVR's website markets the Omara line for gaming: the Omara Core 10 desktop unit (US$179, 10 scent channels) and the Omara Pro (US$649, 16 channels). OVR's own specification table gives a "time to perception" of 1,000 ms for the Core and 500 ms for the Pro.[23] Developers integrate the devices through OVR's plugins for Unreal Engine and Unity.[25] OVR's FAQ states that each Omara Pro cassette provides more than 3,000 bursts per channel and costs US$40, and that the company is building beta units while preparing mass production for a Q4 2026 target.[25]

Applications in VR and AR

Presence and memory

In the 1999 study by Dinh et al., olfactory cues were one of the added modalities that increased both presence and memory of the virtual environment.[17] Herz's 2021 review covers how olfaction is being incorporated into VR platforms and concludes that proper delivery of odor stimuli within VR "is complex and needs to be assiduously engineered".[2]

Therapy and wellbeing

Scent has been used in VR exposure therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. In a 2008 case report on the Virtual Iraq system, Maryrose Gerardi, Barbara Rothbaum, Kerry Ressler, Mary Heekin and Albert Rizzo described olfactory stimuli "delivered via a scent palette in an airtight chamber filled with compressed air", including burning rubber, diesel fuel, weapons fire and spices. The patient identified smells of diesel fuel and cordite as components of the trauma memory.[30] Herz also proposed olfactory VR for preventing PTSD: exposing people such as military personnel in VR to odors likely to be met in crisis scenarios, such as diesel fuel and burning hair, so that habituation could weaken their later link to trauma.[2]

For stress relief, a 2024 systematic review by Marilia K. S. Lopes and Tiago H. Falk examined 14 studies of multisensory VR nature experiences that added smell to sight and sound. The authors found a generally positive effect of adding smells, with outcomes often comparable to exposure to real nature, but individual studies disagreed: one found that adding sounds and smells to virtual nature windows did not significantly improve their restorative effect.[31] The devices in the studies it reviewed included essential-oil diffusers, Aromajoin's Aroma Shooter, the Olorama scent generator, the SENSIKS multisensory pod, a wearable scent necklace and a computer-controlled olfactometer.[31]

Training, education and entertainment

Liu et al. demonstrated their wearable olfactory interface in 4D movie watching, smell message delivery, medical treatment, emotion control and VR/AR online teaching.[13] Zhang, Guo and Lee suggest pairing smoke odors with thermal feedback in fire-escape training, and odor feedback in VR games such as picking fruit in a virtual orchard.[6] On the entertainment side, OVR now lists commercial PC games and mods that support its Omara displays.[24]

Neuroscience research

Virtual reality odor delivery is also a laboratory tool. Brad A. Radvansky and Daniel A. Dombeck built an olfactory virtual reality system for head-fixed mice that uses rapid flow controllers and a predictive algorithm to create an "olfactory virtual landscape"; mice navigating by smell alone recruited hippocampal CA1 place cells similar to those seen in real and visual virtual environments.[32]

Research

Recent hardware research aims to shrink odor generators and cut their latency. The 2023 City University of Hong Kong system, with collaborators at Beihang University and Shandong University, built each odor generator from a layer of food-grade paraffin mixed with perfume, a gold-trace heater with a thermistor, and a magnetically driven cantilever that lifts or lowers the heater to switch the odor on and off. A skin-mounted version carried two generators on the upper lip and a face-mask version carried nine, linked by Bluetooth. The authors reported a response time as short as 1.44 s at a heating temperature of 50 degrees Celsius, the melting point of the scented paraffin.[13] A 2024 follow-up from the same group added artificial intelligence algorithms for "latency-free" mixed reality.[33] Zhang, Guo and Lee summarize its generators as reaching a 70 ms response time, 84.8 mW power consumption, an 11 x 10 x 1.8 mm size and 12 hours of continuous operation.[6]

Brooks et al. took a different route to directional smell. Their 10 x 23 mm device, worn across the nasal septum, read external gas sensors over Bluetooth and stimulated the trigeminal nerve, whose sensations are perceptually fused with those of the olfactory bulb. In their studies, the absolute electric charge conveyed an odor's intensity, while phase order and net charge conveyed its direction, and participants located a virtual smell source in a room without prior training. The authors also proposed the device as an aid for people with anosmia.[14]

Several surveys map the field. Niall Murray, Brian Lee, Yuansong Qiao and Gabriel-Miro Muntean reviewed olfaction-enhanced multimedia in ACM Computing Surveys in 2016, with a taxonomy of olfactory displays by display type, scent generation mechanism, application area and strengths and weaknesses.[34] Tewell and Ranasinghe's 2024 review classifies olfactory-enhanced VR systems that used a head-mounted display or a CAVE, and discusses the design challenges of building olfactory displays for VR.[1]

Challenges

Herz's 2021 review lists several perceptual and chemical problems for olfactory VR hardware:[2]

  • Speed. First-order detection takes about 20 ms for sound and 45 ms for vision, but primary odor detection takes up to 450 ms, and perception of an odor takes nearly twice that. Odors are therefore processed at least 10 to 20 times more slowly than other stimuli, so their timing has to be calibrated against the visuals and audio.
  • Clearance. Odors do not vanish when switched off; their dissipation depends on air speed, temperature and humidity, so peripherals need fans or other means of making a smell "disappear" when the scene changes.
  • Spatialization. A headset-mounted emitter sits at a fixed distance from the nose, which makes three-dimensional odor perception hard to create without some form of stereophonic odor flow.
  • Contamination. Odorants are lipophilic and stick to the polymers most VR hardware is made of. Residues build up on the device and contaminate later scents, a problem Herz links to the failure of earlier odor dispersion inventions such as AromaRama. She suggests building odor-contact parts from fluorinated ethylene propylene (such as Teflon), as in olfactometers used for fMRI research.

Odor perception also varies between individuals: Herz recommends odor sets designed for each person in therapeutic use rather than a "one size fits all" approach.[2] Regulation can be an obstacle as well: FeelReal attributed its delays to US Food and Drug Administration rules on vaping, telling backers that its mask was "technically a vaping device".[28] Tewell and Ranasinghe note that VR experiences remain constrained mainly to vision and hearing, with some haptic interest, and that olfactory displays have only recently been examined in virtual environments.[1]
