We have an article out in the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies on our inhouse developed VR-compatible olfactometer (smell presenter).

This device allows for easier and robust odor presentation in VR-based environments. It can be used for research, smell training, wine tasting and gaming, as it allows intractions with odor-objects ingame.

This year’s autumn-break from school was designated ”research break” and the Museum of Technology invited researchers from different fields to present and demonstrate their research.

We attended and demonstrated our Smell training game called Exerscent. The kids, adults and staff took to Exerscent excitedly!

New website on Smell Training and loss of smell due to COVID-19

/i , , /av

We have in collaboration with our friends and colleagues at the Perceptual Neuroscience Lab (Karolinska Institutet) developed a new website with information about smell-loss associated with COVID-19 and with smell training to relieve smell loss.

 

Here, you can find the current understanding of how the coronavirus affect the sense and perception of smells. You can also find information on how you can train your sense of smell to hopefully recover or maintain your olfactory perception.

 

The site is in Swedish and can be found here: https://www.lukttraning.se/
