TOUCH, TASTE, & SMELL: MULTI-SENSORY ENTERTAINMENT Workshop at ACE 2013
http://ace.mixedrealitylab.org/
Introduction
"This workshop will be a research gathering of academic and industry personnel researching multi-sensory forms of communication and entertainment. Digital transmission of particularly touch, smell and taste will be important as bandwidth increases to extend the internet to all of our senses. Both smell and taste are fundamental and essential senses, and yet neither is given much attention as a form of media, due to the absence of digital controllability over these senses.
"Workshop Outline
"We plan the workshop to spur attention to forms of communication and entertainment that utilize multi-sensory touch, smell, and taste forms of communication that can be useful for entertaining, informing, or inspiring others. We would like to propose cutting edge presentations on subjects of combining touch, taste, smell, or food interfaces and interaction within this context.
"This could be, but not limited to, haptic olfactory and gustatory digital devices, edible computer interfaces, smell and taste video games, new types of food, taste, and smell storytelling, novel smell and taste education methodology, olfactory signage, smell and taste advertising, smell and taste packaging of products, smell and taste cinema. As smell and taste entertainment media are not very well developed, what is the most important judging factor is the novelty of the idea.
