ABSTRACT
Memory and emotion are an ever-important aspect of Human Computer Interaction. While we are researching new interfaces for emotional and experience communication through multisensory communication, there is one aspect of our emotional perception that has been largely ignored in the process: dreaming. We propose to take a new direction by studying the perception of emotions during sleep and how they can be affected through external stimuli via novel user interfaces. In this position poster we take results from studies that have shown that smell and emotions are closely interlinked as a basis for an olfactory computer-dream interface.
