After some time the virtual theaters will came in the market. This virtual theater is basically the concept of the virtual reality. These theaters will have electronic hand gloves, digital smell synthesizer, multipoint surround sound system, movement controllable seats, 3d goggles. From this idea the multipoint surround sound system, 3d goggles, movement controllable seats were completed. Now for the user to fill more realistic effects of movies they were introducing the very new facility of digital smell in movies or in games. For example if we are watching a movie and we see burning of tier then we will fill that smell in theater.
OVER THE TELEVISION: -
Now a days as new and new sound technology came in picture our home television is changing, getting more and more powerful sound with it. After some time over television will came will more clear picture, better voice as well as ismell device, which will create more interest in watching the television.
OVER THE INTERNET
DigiScents technology will be used to add a new dimension to e-commerce and entertainment technology: adding scent to movies, online advertising and interactive games are just a few of the possibilities. "Online greeting cards will be one of the first big plays. We digitize and broadcast scent over the Internet and analyze the molecular structure and sensory perception of an odor and software-code it. The iSmell is a peripheral that is the size of an electronic pencil sharpener; it connects to a USB port. Its scent cartridge would be like a color printer cartridge but with 128 scent elements to combine. These elements will combine to make thousands of scent combinations. "Humans detect around 10,000 smells in their lifetimes. We're going to create the primaries of smell. The company is also creating a Snortal, a first-of-its kind Internet site on which people can create scented e-mail and their own custom scents. Beta testing is currently under way, and final products will be released in fall 2002.
BENEFITS OF SCENTED WEB SITES
Scenting your web site has many benefits as iSmell Digital Scent Technology creates a brand new experience for customers on the Web. The smell experience can be passive, with the use of ambient smells or world scents, or active (click ‘n’ sniff).
SMELL IS MEMORABLE AND EVOCATIVE
Smell is powerful because of its close connection with memory and emotions. Most of us have had the experience of smelling a familiar scent and finding ourselves immediately transported to another time, place and emotional state. With digital scent technology, one can tap into the subconscious of the customers in a way nothing else can, making the web site unforgettable.
SMELL MAKES YOU STAND OUT
Any site can improve its presence with the use of atmospheric scent. The designer of a travel site may wish to add exotic tropical scents to its site. A perfume site may wish to use the ambient perfume smell that simulates the experience of walking into a perfume store. An online department store can use scents for different seasons to simulate the experience of shopping. A gaming site can use different ambient scents, like cave or haunted house, to create more authentic gaming worlds.
SMELL INTENSIFIES USER INTERACTION
Many fragrance and body product stores encourage sampling of scented products to increase sales. Scentography, the art of using scent as a form of communication and self-expression, gives developers a new way to reach out to the audience. Scent adds an entirely new dimension to the web. Scent heightens the online experience for users, because they are now enticed to further explore gaming worlds, product features, and topic areas.
APPLICATIONS FOR SCENT ON THE WEB
In addition to revolutionizing gaming, digital scent technology will bring consumers more lifelike and memorable experiences with scented movies and music, web sites, e-mail, e-commerce, and online advertising.
ONLINE INTERACTIVE GAMES
Imagine smelling the scent of an opponent in an interactive online role-playing game or smelling the damp cave your character is trapped in. Games with scented environments, entities and prizes are more immersive and realistic. Scented games will soon be the standard in interactive media, just as games with sound became prevalent as soundcards became common.
ENTERTAINMENT
The WDK gives you the tools to create ScentTracks that can be streamed over the Internet with movies and music. ScentTracks can also be transmitted along, making it possible to implement aromatherapy online. (End users can create their own ScentTracks for their favorite movies and music and send the. Smellody files to friends by email.)
COMMUNICATION
Scent offers developers as well as consumers another medium for creativity and self-expression. Scented web sites, electronic greeting cards and e-mail will enliven all e-communication. With iSmell technology, you can travel anywhere in the world or to any time period in the past.
E-COMMERCE
Scent will bring the online shopping experience to life. Scent-enabled shopping sites will be more compelling if you can actually smell perfume, flowers, food and beverages, cigars, and exotic places.
ADVERTISING
Vendors of food, cosmetics, home care products, and travel related services can use scent to make advertisements more engaging and memorable. Eventually, like musical jingles and graphical logos, scented banner ads will make it possible to communicate the key feature of scented products or to simply evoke a certain feeling.
LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE PLANS
LIMITATIONS
The iSmell personal scent synthesizer emits teeny-tiny amounts of scent for the enjoyment of one or two people sitting in front of the device.
FUTURE PLANS
Under their system a person could send an 'encoded' message from one computer to another, and then person will get the message in the form of smell. Then this smell will be cached by the input ismell device then given to the translator which will translate these release chemicals to the message form.
Virus could also be entered via these smell devices.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LESS OBVIOUS BENEFITS?
The inability to smell is a condition called anosmia. People with anosmia have lost the ability to smell or were born without it. They may have lost their ability to smell from head injuries or the aging process. Research has shown that for these people life is less stimulating and can lead to depression
Losing your ability to smell can signal the onset of worse diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, malnutrition, and some degenerative diseases of the nervous system such as Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease.Researchers are even looking at loss of smell as a predictor of developing AIDS in HIV positive patients.
Problems due to which this digital smell is currently not in maket:
Digital smell may be an idea whose time has come, but there are reasons why no one has mastered smell generation. It's an extremely complex process involving chemical reactions, biology, physiology, genetics, and, perhaps, the secrets of life itself -- let alone capitalism.
Chemical problem: - It is very difficult task to put any digital reactions into a computer and execute over a computer. In this case we have to create the reaction depending on the pallets that is only 128 for the ismell. The chemical scientist has to create more then ten thousand because minimum of ten thousand smells is generally used humans life. This may requires an extremely complex process of chemical reaction.
Genetics: - As we know that the ismell device is made of natural chemical but there might be possibility that any user has problem with smell. As he seat over the computer daily then there could happens the problem of Jens. This problem is very critical, so due to this digital smell is not in market.
ARE THERE ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS?
If you are allergic to something that also has a particular odour (say grass pollen), it is possible you may associate that odour with the unpleasant allergic reaction (usually hay fever or asthma) and thus develop an aversion to that smell (e.g. freshly cut grass).
CONCLUSION
There are several streams over which this digital smell is used, Such as over the television, theater and the web. Hence we conclude that this digital smell will revolutionized the world. And at every place we will require this device, such as for scented mail, scented movies, scented songs we must requires this device.
This device will become our need in future.
