Olfactory UIs : New Possibilities for Displaying System and Application States
- Monitoring of critical system and application states is mainly done via graphical user interfaces (UI). Consequently, the user’s visual sense focuses on both their primary task and the monitoring task. Audiovisual in nature, the main task typically receives more attention from the user so that the monitoring task is neglected. As a solution that maps the monitoring of system and application states to the user’s sense of smell, this work systematically designs olfactory UIs by human-centered design (HCD). These olfactory UIs allow users to focus on an audiovisual task without neglecting the monitoring. Based on an online survey, a user study, and usability tests, this paper provides evidence that olfactory UIs are suitable to reliably establish an association between a specific scent and the severity of Syslog messages. The presented results were also transferred into a design solution for an olfactory UI indicating system and application states by scents.
