Multisensory Integration

By combining numerous sensory inputs, a heightened interaction can be established between individuals and a programmed presentation.

 

The aromaComposer works by itself or in combination with both three-dimensional sound and/or our optional VibraSonic contour chair. The aromaComposer's control system is designed to play specially encoded CDs and DVDs that already have audio, aroma and chair controller data on them, thus permitting many possible system configurations for various needs, budgets, and markets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are brief descriptions of the three-dimensional sound and tactile chair environments:

 

Three-Dimensional Sound Environment:

 

Built into the aromaComposer's system is the ability to play back amazing three-dimensional sound and music. Guests' experience a sound environment delivered through high quality headphones, or alternate built-in speakers. Distances from sounds are very naturally reproduced, and the positions of the sound sources, resting or in motion, are extremely realistic.

Example: A woman whispers in one ear, a man in the other, while a young child sings a few feet behind you the listener. Overhead, a distant airplane rises and passes from front to rear, and underneath, we detect chatter on the forest floor, seemingly recorded from our perch in the treetops. We believe that we are surrounded by tribal drummers, or chanting monks.

 

Those who experience the deep pleasure and power of this kind of acoustical environment are amazed.


 

Tactile Sensations:

 

Our VibraSonic lounge is a specially designed contoured chair, which encourages users to recline in a relaxed neutral posture. The aroma composer sits beside the chair, or may built into future versions.

 

The user's body feels waves of sonic vibration while floating within it . . . controlled, precise, and deliberate.

 

Making use of proprietary control and processing and techniques, we are able to adjust the intensity, location, and timing of all vibrations applied to the user within the chair. We can massage the body to music, corresponding to predetermined show needs, or more interestingly, have a person feel his or her own breath, heartbeat, or other form of subconscious biofeedback.

 

This system works in conjunction with the spatialized sounds, and the captivating aromas projected by the aromaComposer to induce a particular state of consciousness, or level of relaxation.
