Identification of 3D objects with haptic, olfactory, and auditory senses in virtual environment

In this paper, we objectively investigate how much correctly 3D objects can be identified with haptic, olfactory and auditory senses in a virtual environment. We use 16 objects, which are different from each other in shape and softness. Some of the objects have sounds or smells. Assessment results show that how much largely the identification accuracy can be achieved with the help of haptic, olfactory, and auditory senses in the virtual environment.
