Digiscents don't plan on designing the games and other platforms themselves. As well as the synthesizers, they've been creating the soft and hardware that game producers will need to mix and incorporate scents into their latest offerings. Part of that is "Reminiscent", a database of standard smells. These odors will be licensed to developers for integration into games, websites and advertisements and so on.
The company promises that by this summer, they will be flying their flag at the world's first scent-enabled Web portal, dubbed "The Snortal". Visitors will be able to send "Scent Mail", design and register their own smells and swap aroma tracks to their favorite music clips; just like computer gamers circulate custom-designed 'skins' for their favorite titles.
"We're going to be the Microsoft of smell." said one Digiscents insider.
Digiscents is apparently in discussions with at least one major game developer. So we truly may be close to a time when you'll smell those zombies just as they sneak up to devour your brains.

SMELL SYNTHESIZER: -
The smell synthesizer mean the device which is used generate the smells. Such as ismell is device used to produce the gas using computer.
There are various types of smell synthesizers are available in the market, but for computer the smell synthesizer is made by digiscents industry.
ISMELL: -
The company's technology turns smells into digital codes that can be stored on laser discs or as computer files, and can even be e-mailed. The iSmell device reads a digital scent file, creates a smell from a "palette'' of 128 chemicals stored in a cartridge, and then wafts into the air with a small fan.
DEGISCENTS ISMELL VERSION I
It has cartridge of 128 chemicals which is able to produce 10,000 smells .To active this device for computer it will require a driver program called as ScentStream.
DIGISCENTS ISMELL VERSION II:-
CARTRIDGE: -
The cartridge will contain chemicals -- either natural oils or synthetic fragrances -- that will be activated by either heat or air pressure, when you send a signal from your computer. The digital smell device could add another sensory dimension to the sights and sounds of a computer game. Currently 128 chemicals are stored in a cartridge. Similar to an ink jet printer, those oils form the core of a replaceable cartridge, which is inserted in the company's iSmell device. The oils are electrically stimulated in different combinations to create specific smells in response to software prompts programmed into applications such as Web site features, computer games, digital music, and movies. But after some time as user will be more familiar with these smells the cartridge will come in market in which you can add chemicals as many as you want. They are still investigating all the scent combinations that are currently possible with the iSmell device. As the technology becomes more refined, more and more scents and scent combinations will be possible.
"The idea would be to have a box about the size of a small speaker that would be connected to your computer and within that box is this cartridge of odors, having a hundred different small chambers in it, and then on command from the computer, you can choose various odors within that hundred, to be mixed up together and then puffed gently out of this port where you can smell it."
SCENTOGRAPHY: -
Scentography is a new form of expression that allows the integration of scents with traditional digital multimedia, such as games, DVDs, and web sites. By allowing you to communicate with smells, Scentography adds a new dimension and richness to web pages and virtually any other form of electronic/digital communication. The capability to digitize and broadcast scents will enable vendors and consumers to send scented mail, establish smell 'n shop electronic kiosks, make and watch scented DVDs, and play scented games and simulations.
Scentography promises a vast extension of sensory space, with profound implications. "We've lost touch, as a species, with our sense of smell," Bellenson says, speaking so rapidly that his words run together. "Like, our noses are not on the ground anymore, because we don't have to hunt for food. Scent became an art perpetuated by the big fragrance houses in Europe, and the average person was not empowered.
