We explore a temperature illusion that uses low-powered electronics and enables the miniaturization of simple warm and cool sensations. Our illusion relies on the properties of certain scents, such as the coolness of mint or hotness of peppers. These odors trigger not only the olfactory bulb, but also the nose's trigeminal nerve, which has receptors that respond to both temperature and chemicals. To exploit this, we engineered a wearable device based on micropumps and an atomizer that emits up…

Demonstrating Trigeminal-based Interfaces
TLDR
It is proposed that electrically stimulating the trigeminal nerve is an ideal candidate for stereo-smell rendering and provides a temperature illusion that uses low-powered electronics and enables the miniaturization of simple warm and cool sensations.
Stereo-Smell via Electrical Trigeminal Stimulation
TLDR
A novel type of olfactory device that creates a stereo-smell experience by rendering the readings of external odor sensors as trigeminal sensations using electrical stimulation of the user's nasal septum, designed to function as an assistive device for people with anosmia, who are unable to smell.
Pre-Print of CHI 2021 Paper Stereo-Smell via Electrical Trigeminal Stimulation
TLDR
A novel type of olfactory device is proposed that creates a stereo-smell experience by rendering the readings of external odor sensors as trigeminal sensations using electrical stimulation of the user's nasal septum.
Chemical Haptics: Rendering Haptic Sensations via Topical Stimulants
TLDR
The proposed chemical haptics approach offers a new pathway, via the skin's chemical receptors, for achieving multiple haptic sensations using a single actuator, which would otherwise require combining multiple actuators (e.g., Peltier, vibration motors, electro-tactile stimulation).
Smell, Taste, and Temperature Interfaces
TLDR
This workshop seeks to provoke critical discussions around chemo- and thermo-sensory HCI and discusses underlying cultural contexts of these experiences, how researchers can robustly stimulate and sense these modalities, and in what contexts such multisensory technologies are meaningful.
Multisensory Integration as per Technological Advances: A Review
TLDR
The scope and challenges of new technology in the study of multisensory integration in a world that is increasingly characterized as a fusion of physical and digital/virtual events are examined.
From Scent Projection to Respiratory Protection: Designing Digital Olfactory Interactions for Fashion Wearables
TLDR
Changing roles and practices for multi-sensory wearables innovation are outlined, working to suggest new modes beyond current technology development paradigms, for empowered and meaningful interactions in networked data infrastructures.
A Haptic System for Switching Wind Temperatures Based on Ultrasonic Vibrations, Peltier Elements, and Electrical Resistances for Multisensory Applications
TLDR
A haptic system that allows the creation and delivery of hot and cold airflow synchronised with audiovisual content and suggest recommendations for the appropriate triggering of these types of sensory effects combined with multimedia content taking into account the authors' setup.
Development and Study of Ezzence: A Modular Scent Wearable to Improve Wellbeing in Home Sleep Environments
Ezzence is the first smartphone-controlled olfactometer designed for both day and night conditions. We discuss the design and technical implementation of Ezzence and report on a study to evaluate the…
Physiological I/O
TLDR
A Special Interest Group on Physiological I/O is proposed that will consolidate successful practices and identify research challenges to address as a community and envision systems that will close the loop between physiological input and output—interactive systems able to read and influence the user’s body.

Perception of trigeminal mixtures.
TLDR
These results suggest dimension-specific interactions in the perception of trigeminal mixtures, which may be explained by particular interactions that may take place on peripheral or central levels.
An unencumbering, localized olfactory display
TLDR
This work proposes an unencumbering olfactory display, by conveying a clump of scented air from a certain remote place to the user's nose, using an "air cannon" that generates toroidal vortices of the scentedAir.

TLDR
Current knowledge in this field is summarized, including a functional description of various sensory channels, especially TRP channels, involved in trigeminal chemosensitivy, and some of these new findings are discussed in the context of the pathophysiology of trigemINAL chemosensation, including pain, pruritus, migraine, cough, airway inflammation, and ophthalmic diseases.
Identification of a cold receptor reveals a general role for TRP channels in thermosensation
TLDR
These findings, together with the previous identification of the heat-sensitive channels VR1 and VRL-1, demonstrate that TRP channels detect temperatures over a wide range and are the principal sensors of thermal stimuli in the mammalian peripheral nervous system.
Pseudo-gustatory display system based on cross-modal integration of vision, olfaction and gustation
TLDR
A pseudo-gustatory display based on the cross-modal interactions that underlie the perception of flavor is proposed and a "Meta Cookie" system to change the perceived taste of a cookie by overlaying visual and olfactory information onto a real cookie which an AR marker pattern is built.

Affecting tumbler: affecting our flavor perception with thermal feedback
TLDR
Results indicate that flavor perception can be controlled with the proposed method, and suggest that flavor richness and aftertaste strength were significantly improved by heating up the skin in the nasal region.
Characterizing the Space by Thermal Feedback through a Wearable Device
TLDR
This work is aiming to add characteristics to the existing space by providing people with location-dependent thermal information and manipulating thermal information presented to people can change implicit partitioning of the space without physically reconstructing it.
