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.

A system comprising:
- two or more vessels, each of the two or more vessels including a scented medium, a first opening, and a second opening;
- one reservoir storing a gas;
- an interconnection simultaneously coupling the one reservoir to the first opening of each of the two or more vessels;
- and
- a controller configured to control delivery of the gas from the one reservoir to at least one of the two or more vessels to release a scent from the scented medium of the at least one of the two or more vessels.
