Augmented Reality AR is a technology which deals with the combination of physical and artificial stimulus. + Real world AR world + Virtual world Real head + CT image
Beyond Visual Augmentation • VR ≠ Visual Reality • We have “five” senses. • Sight • Hearing • Taste • Smell • Touch
Introduction:Examples of Multi-modal AR Touching Chemical Boundaries Unconscious Avoidance

Olfactory Augmentation SpotScents Yasuyuki Yanagida(Meijo Univ.), Haruo Noma(ATR) et al. Wearable olfactory displayby Tanikawa, Hirose et al.
SPOTSCENTS • Track the nose position • Deliver the scents from some nearby place:“free space instead of tubes” Yanagida IEEE VR2004
Launching a Scented Vortex Ring • Inject scented air into the cylinder instead of body of air cannon • Scented air in the cylinder completely launched by the shot • Prevent air mixture and back-flow by shutters
SPOTSCENTS - Basic Concept - • Generate a small “Spot” olfactory field in free space. • Provide spatio-temporal control of the olfactory field.
Vestibular Augmentation • Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation(GVS) can produce a virtual perception of acceleration. • V-acceleration toward the anode by DC (~ 2mA) • Electrodes placed on the mastoids behind the ears.
