About this ebook
Most of our everyday life experiences are multisensory in nature, they consist of what we see, hear, feel, taste, smell, and much more. Almost any experience, such as eating a meal or going to the cinema, involves a magnificently complex sensory world. In recent years, many of these experiences have been increasingly transformed through technological advancements such as multisensory devices and intelligent systems. This book takes the reader on a journey that begins with the fundamentals of multisensory experiences, moves through the relationship between the senses and technology, and finishes by considering what the future of those experiences might look like, and our responsibility in it. This new edition seeks to further empower the reader to shape their own and other people's experiences by considering the multisensory worlds in which we live. It includes updated content on new technologies such as generative AI, and further development of an ethical framework around multisensory experiences. This book is a powerful and personal story about the authors' passion for, and viewpoint on, multisensory experiences.
