Professor Simon Niedenthal was recently promoted to Professor of Interaction Design. He is a long time collaborator with our Lab and together we have developed much of our smell training and testing equipment.

In his presentation, Simon spoke about the current and past state of olfaction in interactive entertainment, such as movies and games, and the challenges of olfactory interaction.
