Abstract
Scentery proposes a novel approach to create calming multisensory environments by displaying visualizations, reproducing audios and activating olfactory sensations. By the use of recent literature, we introduce an initial Emotive Design Taxonomy that intersects emotions, and colors, sounds and scents. Scentery's users switch between different multisensory scenarios that promote calm sensation. The first VR scenario immerses the user into the scenery of lavender field, which bursts into a carnival of purple, a lavender scent and ambient instrumental sound. The other scenario is the scenery of raining forest, a ylang-ylang scent and nature sound. Scentery was developed with Unity 3D for creating the 3D scenarios, Unity Remote for the camera control and viewer's perspectives, and a microcontroller for triggering the scents in the vaporizer.
