Season Traveller: Multisensory Narration for Enhancing the Virtual Reality Experience
summary
Season Traveller is a wearable VR accessory that adds olfactory, thermal and wind cues to a Unity app running on Samsung Gear VR, using Peltier elements and fans on servos plus an air pump at 70% (100% duty chosen) for scent delivery. A five‑condition study compares AV only, AV+single modalities and the full multisensory system; results show any single modality raises presence and the full combination produces a further significant boost, with 85%/100%/95% perceiving smell/wind/thermal and HR and electrodermal activity patterns indicating reduced negative arousal under the combined setup.
