- Whilst the influence of olfaction on user experience in Mulsemedia environments has been previously studied, the impact of the fundamental dimensions of scent intensity and valence (odor hedonic dimension or pleasantness) have been largely unexplored. We examined that by recruiting 54 participants who were exposed to different odor valences and scent intensity levels when viewing three short multimedia clips. The result shows whilst eye gaze patterns are largely unaffected by the experimental conditions, valence does have a statistically significant impact upon user heart rates, as does intensity for two of the three clips employed in our study.
