Popis: This pilot study researches the representation of smells in Virtual Reality and its association with real smells. Olfactive stimuli in VR remains limited and difficult for effective use. We propose a work-around with a “synesthesia-like” approach (e.g. the smell of perfume is associated to a pink smoke / seeing a violet can elicit its odor; etc.). We present 2 studies (N=14) where: 1/ We compare 3 smell representations (smoke-based, image-based, visually physically-based) to know the best representation; and 2/ We compare good / bad real smells with good / bad virtual smells to know how the user associates them.
