What Does Olfactory Interfaces Mean?
Olfactory interfaces are interfaces based on the user’s sense of smell. They are often defined as interfaces that synthesize odors for emission to replace or support other types of sensory interfaces such as visual, tactile or audio interfaces.
Techopedia Explains Olfactory Interfaces
How olfactory interfaces work varies, and these systems are largely theoretical as they have not been broadly applied to any particular part of the IT industry. In Gartner’s definition, an olfactory interface includes a “flow delivery system,” a “pallete” of odor-generating materials and algorithms or programs that figure out how to mix and present specific odors.
