In our everyday life, we always make use of five senses to obtain information from our surroundings. To integrate computers into the real world seamlessly, interaction technologies using not only visual and auditory information but also other sensory information are necessary. In this project, we focus on the expression possibilities of scent information. In the field of Virtual Reality and Computer Human Interaction, there have been several researches in olfactory display[Barfield and Danas 1996][Yanagida et al. 2003]; however, ambient scent information has rarely been used as input for interation. In this project, we propose an interactive system utilizing the scent data as input and we correlated the input with visual output to display the existence and variation of ambient scents.
