Abstract
A device or system is provided that provides olfactory stimuli, and includes a piezoelectric vibration device that is used to produce scents corresponding to actions performed in a VR or AR environment, or other application. In some implementations, a user interacts with one or more game elements within a game program being executed by a game engine, and responsive to the interaction, the game engine may communicate a series of commands that cause a piezoelectric device of the device to generate scents to be experienced by the user.
Claims23
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- at least one element controllably coupled to the processor;
- one or more elements that contain respective ones of one or more scented media, wherein the one or more elements each includes a corresponding element that are controllably coupled to the processor;
- and
- an interface adapted to receive one or more commands from an external content processor, wherein the processor is configured to, responsive to the received one or more commands, control the at least one element to deliver an output scent using the one or more scented media, and wherein the one or more commands includes a plurality of commands that selectively control more than one element to render a blended scent.
