这项工作旨在感官信息转换和感官信息传递的基础上讨论感官体验的实时计算，复制和存储。这项工作最初是在2017年底设计和制造的，经过三次升级和迭代实验，两次展览并获奖。
“Scentgraphy”的交互式装置，它能够在计算，解释，模拟和存储场景气味。该实验方法通过转换感官信息和传递感官信息来实现新感觉信息的产生。它就像一台原始相机或留声机，可以捕捉并保存图像记忆。它不仅丰富了互动体验，还将嗅觉，视觉和情感的结合建立了更紧密的关系。同时，Scentgraphy还提供了一种有趣的互动，有助于身心沉浸式的芳香疗法。该项目探索了关于感官，感官界限以及嗅觉的存储和再现的新体验。基于古老的香水技术，记忆与嗅觉之间形成了更紧密的联系。Scentgraphy项目探索了通过视觉和嗅觉转换计算，模拟和通信气味的方法。这是对嗅觉信息化的初步探索，这项研究确保了转换视觉，嗅觉和数字气味的可行性可以广泛应用于媒体和信息技术。
开发相机和留声机的先前原因之一是人们希望捕捉和再现美好的回忆和时刻。目前，人们不再满足于视觉和听觉的唯一再现，并开始怀疑是否有可能找到一种技术解决方案来捕捉人类感官的其他部分的场景，情感和记忆。到目前为止，在现阶段，许多科学家，工程师和艺术家已经开始探索多感官领域。然而，受到气味存在形式的制约，尚未取得重大突破。目前，模拟气味的设计可以与许多现实生活场景配对。
与此同时，城市中的城市居民面临着加速生活方式的巨大压力，使相当一部分人处于亚健康状态。这种异常的健康状态可以影响人们的情绪和精神，而呼吸到体内的气体和气味可以刺激神经元和脑切片之间的异常变化。在这种情况下，Scentgraphy能够提供类似于古代芳香疗法的功能性解决方案，帮助人们缓解压力和放松。随着香味技术的发展，数字香水不仅深入扩展了多媒体体验和沉浸式场景，还计算，再现和存储香味。这与人类未来的健康密切相关。同时，它也与营销和娱乐密切相关。
The work is meant to discuss the real-time computing, duplication and storage of sensory experiences on the foundation of the conversion of sensory information and the transmission of sensory information. The work was initially designed and fabricated at the end of 2017, went through three upgrades and iterative experiments, two exhibitions and won a prize. The discussion of the user study was conducted with an audience interview in the exhibitions.

This part presents an analysis of the interactive installation of “Scentgraphy," which is able to compute, interpret, simulate and store scents behind the scenes. The experimental method combines the results of the first two experiments, and realizes the generation of new sensory information by converting sensory information and transmitting sensory information. It acts like an original camera or a gramophone that captures and saves pictorial memories. It not only enriches interactive experiences but also establishes a closer relationship with the combination of smell, vision and emotion. Meanwhile, scentgraphy also provides an interesting interaction that is conducive for an immersive experience of breathing aromatherapy. This project explores new experiences regarding the senses, sensory boundaries and the storage and reproduction of the sense of smell. Based on ancient perfumery techniques, a closer bond is developed between memory and the sense of smell. The scentgraphy project explored a way for the computing, simulation, and telecommunication of odors through visual and olfactory conversion. This is a preliminary exploration of olfactory informationization, and this research ensures that the feasibility of converting visual, olfactory and digital odors can be widespread and applied both in media and information technology.
One of the prior reasons for the development of cameras and gramophones was that people wanted to capture and reproduce beautiful memories and moments. Currently, people are no longer satisfied with the sole reproduction of visual and auditory senses and have started to wonder if it is possible to find a technological solution to capturing other parts of the human senses for scenes, emotions and memories. So far, at the current stage, many scientists, engineers and artists have begun to explore the multi-sensory field. However, constrained by the form in which smell exists, no significant breakthrough has been made yet. Currently, the designs of simulated smell can be paired up with a lot of real-life scenarios. However, the full application of scentgraphy still requires further exploration in the calculation, storage and reproduction of the scents.
At the same time, urban residents in the city confront overwhelming pressure from their accelerated lifestyles, putting a considerable portion of them into a sub-health condition. This abnormal state of health can influence the emotion and spirit of the people, while the gases and scents that are breathed into the body can stimulate aberrant changes between the neurons and cerebral sections. Scentgraphy, in this case, is able to provide a functional solution that is similar to that of the ancient aromatherapy that helps people relieve stress and relax. With the development of scent technology, digital scent not only deeply expands the multimedia experiences and immersive scenes, but also calculates, reproduces and stores scents. This is closely related to the future wellness of humans. Meanwhile, it is also closely related to both marketing and entertainment.

Scentgraphy acts like an original gramophone to capture and save memories for us. It can generalize the scent of specific paintings, the one of a landscape, and even the one of a photograph. A closer relationship can be established between color and smell by simply breathing in the reproduced scents behind each captured scenario. The goal of Scentgraphy is to bring users unique breathing experience. A scene can be pixelated and later calculated to better unveil the relationship between color and scent to help embody the underneath emotion based on the image recognition technology. Olfactory information can be counted as a kind of sensory data. In the future, such data can be applied to immersive entertainment, multimedia handheld devices, and even medical and beauty industries. The research team truly believes that the future sensory design will permeate into all aspects of life. In addition to obtaining more accurate scent data, the team of Scentgraphy needs to explore deeper to better under- stand the mechanism for scents to affect the user's emotions, emotions, and memories. This research will make the media and information technology spread in a more effec- tive way. Making the current device more applicable to immersive entertainment, multimedia handheld devices, and even medical and beauty industries. There is reason to believe that in the near future, this set of sensory input objects will get deep into all aspects of daily life, rather than just stay in the current visual and auditory. In addition to requiring more accurate odor information, the developing team also needs to ex- plore upon the mechanism that how the odor affects the user's emotions, emotions, and memories more than they are now. Scentgraphy serves as the touchstone of the digitization of scents. In the short future, scents can not only be calculate, saved and reproduced, but also can be remotely shared. Controlling people’s emotional well- being through nostalgic odors by using certain functional products through odor memory, smell and scent will be applied across the world like any other physical products that have already been widely accepted.
