Multiple Sensorial Media Advances and Applications:
New Developments in MulSeMedia
A book edited by Dr. George Ghinea (Brunel University), Dr. Frederic Andres (CVCE/NII), and Dr.
Stephen Gulliver (University of Reading)

Introduction

Traditionally, multimedia applications have primarily engaged two of the human senses – the audio and the visual – out of the five possible. With recent advances in computational technology, it is now possible to talk of applications that engage the other three senses, as well: tactile, olfaction, and gustatory. This integration leads to a paradigm shift away from the old multimedia towards the newmulsemedia – multiple sensorial media.

Recommended Topics

Mulsemedia brings with itself new and exciting challenges and opportunities in research, industry, commerce, and academia. This book solicits chapters dealing with mulsemedia in all of these areas.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Context-aware Mulsemedia
Metrics for Mulsemedia
Mulsemedia devices
Mulsemedia in distributed environments
Mulsemedia integration
Mulsemedia user studies
Multi-modal interaction
Mulsemedia and virtual reality
Olfactory enhanced media
Quality of service and Mulsemedia
Tactile/haptic interaction
User modelling and Mulsemedia
Mulsemedia and e-learning
Mulsemedia and e-commerce
