Overview
Scent2Story aims to give the user an opportunity to meditate and switch mind by telling a short story generated from his/her own impression about an installed scent.
The Proust effect for example, the stimulation of smell is directly transmitted to the brain, easily evoking past memories and emotions. Based on the interplay of scent and narrative, this project examined new perspectives on personal sensibilities and creativity through experimental research and prototyping.
