Embodiment of Machine Olfaction : The Braitenberg Nose

• There is an increasing attention towards machine olfaction and many studies show useful application through this type of technology, both for industry as well as for our lives. To further research in this area, from an interaction point of view, this paper presents the Braitenberg Nose, an artifact that explores how olfactory devices can be implemented in our lives through a tangible form. Users can present various smells to the nose that, based on the chemical composition and smell intensity, will show different movements through its nostrils and the sides of the nasal bridge.
