User perception of media content association in olfaction-enhanced multimedia

Published:30 November 2012Publication History
Skip Abstract Section

Abstract

Olfaction is an exciting challenge facing multimedia applications. In this article we have investigated user perception of the association between olfactory media content and video media content in olfactory-enhanced multimedia. Results show that the association between scent and content has a significant impact on the user-perceived experience of olfactory-enhanced multimedia.
