Recent advances in virtual reality (VR) technologies accelerate the creation of a flawless 3D
virtual world to provide frontier social platform for human. Equally important to traditional …

Despite major anatomical differences with other mammalian sensory systems, olfaction
shares with those systems a modulation by sleep/wake states. Sleep modulates odor …

Low-fidelity prototyping is so foundational to Human-Computer Interaction, appearing in
most early design phases. So, how do experts prototype olfactory experiences? We …

Abstract Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) is a noninvasive tool to manipulate memory
consolidation during sleep. TMR builds on the brain's natural processes of memory …

Deaf-blindness limits daily human activities, especially interactive modes of audio and visual
perception. Although the developed standards have been verified as alternative …

This paper investigates how a smartphone-controlled olfactory wearable might improve
memory recall. We conducted a within-subjects experiment with 32 participants using the …

Over the last hundred years, the integration of scent in technology could roughly be seen as
having two public waves, analogous to virtual reality's three or four. These waves include the …

Take a deep breath; what do you smell? While sight and hearing dominate our perceptions,
the sense of smell is often overlooked, even undervalued. However, the importance of our …

Sleep plays a significant role in our health and well-being. We can see an increasing
amount of work in HCI exploring the design for better sleep. However, most of these works …

Humans spend a third of their lives asleep. While the sleep-wake behaviors are primarily
modulated by homeostasis and circadian rhythm, several ambient chemical and physical …
