Most of us have a specific odors associated with childhood events like these, and other poignant memories. Candle makers, perfumers, and manufacturers of scented products (e.g., air fresheners) have understood and exploited these associations for years. As such, we believe that we can utilize priming techniques resembling these to improve simulation technology. Enter: olfactory cues.
