 Till now online communication involved only two

of our senses.
SENSE OF SIGHT
SENSE OF HEARING
A new technology targets on sense of smell
WHAT IS DIGITAL SCENT
TECHNOLOGY ?
Digital Scent Technology intends to
change the interactive entertainment
experience.
Using Electronic-nose we can sense a
smell
and Digital scent technology it is
possible to
sense, transmit and receive smell
through

PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SMELL

Smell is most evocative of
senses.
How does the nose work?
Odour.
Olfactory mucosa and
Olfactory
bulb.
Primary odours

WHAT IS AN ELECTRONIC NOSE ?

Electronic nose is a device which

detects odour and analyze it.

MAIN COMPONENTS

Pattern recognition
system
SUB COMPONENTS
Sample delivery
system
Detection system
Computing system

CARTRIDGES USED IN SCENT

SYNTHESIZERS
19 types of smell creating
chemicals.
19 partitions in the
container
Anode, cathode and
electrolyte
Chemical are derived
from bacteria or plants
SWEET SMELL OF
SUCCESS

Scent stream
Scent Registry
Broad array of tools

SENX SCENT DEVICE (sensory enhanced net

experience)
Trisenx allows users to not only download
scents, but to print out flavors that can be
tasted
It is a printer like desktop device
Savannah, GA, based company
Aromas are stored in a disposable cartridge.
This cartridge has 20 chambers, each
holding a distinct scent. Thousands of smells
can be created with a 20-chamber cartridge

WHAT IS SENX
SAMPLER?
Effective diffusion of all available
fragrances
Chemical compounds used in
producing aroma aldehyde,
esther,alcohol and ketones.
