ABSTRACT


Until now, online communication involved only two o1 our senses, sense o1 sight &
sense o1 hearing. Soon it will involve the third, the sense o1 smell using an electronic nose.
Digital scent technology is the main a55lication o1 electronic nose. With digital scent
technology, it is 5ossible to sense, transmit& receive smell through internet. There is com5lete
so1tware and hardware solution 1or it. When a55lied to communications, scent becomes a new
in1ormation channel. It allows us to 5erceive 5roducts and irate a 5reviously unimagined
emotionality and 5roduct credibility. Scents extend the myriad o1 multimedia 5ossibility towards
a new level. Scent communication will be one o1 the most im5ortant in1ormation tools o1 the
1uture. new technology is being develo5ed to a55eal to our sense o1 smell. Bringing alive our
ex5erience, technology now targets on the sense o1 smell.

Using Electronic-nose we can sense a smell and with a technology called Digital scent
technology it is 5ossible to sense, transmit and receive smell through internet, like smelling a
5er1ume online be1ore buying them, sent scented E-cards through scent enabled websites, and to
ex5erience the burning smell o1 rubber in your 1avorite TV games etc. I1 this technology gains
mass a55eal no one can sto5 it 1rom entering into virtual world. Just imagine you are able to
smell things using a device connected to your com5uter. With Digital scent technology this can
be made a reality. There is com5lete so1tware and hardware solution 1or scenting digital media
and user.
