    This document summarizes an article about a new device called inScent that provides smell notifications by vaporizing scented liquid through a small heated coil. It describes previous attempts at creating wearable smell-based devices and the challenges with miniaturization. The summary explains how inScent works to vaporize scents and release small amounts of smell, and that it conducted experimental testing with 16 students wearing the prototype device for an hour. It concludes by posing questions about how well the design meets user desires for subtlety, reliability and control, and whether this adds value over existing notification methods or could be useful for other applications.

    inScent : Smell Notifications


    Sara Nasser

    Article Recap (1/2)


    ● Previous uses of olfactory senses in devices for various uses
    (Sensabubble, Nakamoto et al. Sound Perfume, smicon)
    ● Difficulty in creating the scent while being wearable and space
    efficient (Fragra, Scent Rhytm, iSmell, Scentee)
    ● How they made the model as small as possible, but can be
    miniaturized further
    Sara Nasser

    Article Recap (2/2)


    ● How the scent vaporization works (viscosity of liquid, using glass
    fiber cable, the heating coil Kanthal A-1, the formula of the
    scent)
    ● Experimental Parameters (16 students with instructor walking
    around for an hour)
    To Discuss

    ● Participant desires ( subtly, design, control,


    reliability) - how well does the design cover
    these?
    ● Sensory overload? Cost effective?
    ● Do we really need more ways to get
    notifications? (maybe this device is better for
    other uses)
