Abstract
The paper describes an electromechanical system that is controlled by a multimedia PC to press a chosen small bottle to emit scent. The scen t may be from perfumes, fruits, flowers, etc., and will be related to the text information, pictures, audio and video clips presented on the PC. A user selects a scent for testing fr om a given set of database through a user-friendly PC-controlled window-based interface. The whol e system is like an electronic information kiosk or educational kit, e xcept that it can now provide this extra sensory information.
