Although techniques of recording and reproduction of visual and auditory information are nowadays well established, a corresponding technique for olfaction is still not mature. However, the study of recording and reproduction techniques for smells is becoming more popular in the field of chemical sensors as well as that of virtual reality (Kaye, 2004
An odor sensor called an electronic nose (Pearce et al., 2003) can be
used for olfactory recording. In addition to the odor sensor, a smell reproduction
technique is required. We have developed a system called an odor recorder
for reproducing the smell recorded using an odor sensor (Nakamoto et al., 2001![]()
