Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) There are several attempts to incorporate an olfactory display in VR systems, and most of them are dedicated to how to capture and synthesize the odor. We focus on spatiotemporal control of odor, rather than synthesizing odor itself. Most of existing olfactory displays for VR simply inject the scented air under the nose through tubes. Here, we propose an unencumbering olfactory display that does not require the user to attach anything on the face, by conveying a clump of scented air from a certain remote place to the user's nose. We also aim at displaying a scent to the restricted space around a specific user's nose, rather than scattering scented air by simply diffusing it into the atmosphere. To implement this concept, we examined to use an "air cannon" that generates toroidal vortices of the scented air.
