Applications

The applications of odor communication are far-reaching and diverse, and include scented movies, scented computer games, scented email attachments, scented commercials, and electronic purchase of odorous products (foods, perfumes, detergents, etc.). Some of the applications do not require the entire setup, and can do with only portions of the system. For example, sniffers can be left out of the day to day usage in cases where the output is known to be a member of a pre-determined set of odors; a preprocessing stage can be carried that will compute the required mixtures in advance.
