This three-year, $1.7 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to advance virtual learning environments through olfactory integration. Arizona State University will develop portable hardware and software to reliably synthesize virtual odors for delivery in real-time 3D environments. Researchers will design tools for virtual odor space development and model complex odor propagation. The project seeks to understand how explicit olfactory training impacts cognitive and procedural learning transfer related to odor identification. Insights will inform pedagogical approaches in domains where olfaction is important, such as vocational skills. By infusing olfaction into virtual reality education, the university aims to create broadly accessible learning opportunities around overlooked sensory cues.
