Abstract :
Multimedia systems are widely used in consumer electronics environments today, where humans can work and communicate through multi-sensory interfaces. Unfortunately smell detection and generation systems are not part of today´s multimedia systems. In this paper, we propose an electronic nose that can be used in a multimedia environment. The proposed electronic nose can detect a large number of smells and will have a significantly lower cost compared to the detection systems used in industrial applications.
