Welcome to the aromaComposer Site.

Thank you all for your continued support on the aromaComposer™ project.

Announcements:

Wow! Excited to announce that the new Gen-3 prototype has projected a narrow scent stream 10-12 feet in tests! The desired distance...1-3 feet.

Generation-3 Progress Report 3-15-2008

The following presents the status of our partial funded Generation-3 “Production Prototype Phase”.

Gen-2’s cost and size were the main challanges. Solutions were considered during initial redesign, with the collaboration of potential distributors, customers and endusers.

Our goal was to assemble and test mockups, to see if a scaled-down version of the product was feasible, and what the limits of size reduction were. This would reduce our manufacturing costs. We tested specified components, sourced from different manufacturers. Based upon the results of those tests, we adapted our current production designs for miniaturization.

Very Fruitful

The new 3rd-Gen head will fit into many places never thought possible . The distances that we can project scent have increased dramatically. Recent tests, prototyping and head development have now projected us into markets previously considered Out-of-Range.

We are planning to produce 14 production prototypes based upon modular components. These systems will be placed of numerous locations for various lengths of time as part of real world BETA testing and marketing programs.

Mass-Production Designs Emerge 1-12-07

At the request of, and in cooperation with a European/American “Special Needs” product developer and distributor, we designed the first production model of the aromaComposer. This Special Needs model is designed to be assembled from modular components, which can be configured in different ways for a variety of markets and applications.

ALPHA SENSORY 8-15-06

Multisensory software programs are being developed by Alpha Sensory Environments specifically for use with our systems. http://www.alphasensory.com/

Alpha Sensory has complete access to our prototypes and is in the process of developing multisensory software programs for various modalities. They would like to collaborate with therapists and other healing professionals in their creation, which they plan to distribute in various media formats around the globe.

At the same time, certain therapists may have the option to bring their own clients to the Alpha Sensory studio to experience the new creations with our prototypes.

Alpha Sensory will provide the assistance of a system hardware and/or software designer and system operator. Both system prototypes are currently located in Ojai, California.

Peggy La Cerra, Ph.D. Director, Center for Evolutionary Neuroscience and Author, "The Origin of Minds" after experiencing a demonstration of the aromaComposer integrated with our multisensory system (MSS)

"The multi-sensory stimulus generating system developed by Zubin Levy and Doug Nelson is a fantastic voyage machine. It creates multi-dimensional mind-body experiences by transmitting auditory, tactile and olfactory stimuli in well-orchestrated, inventive programs, each one designed to transport the passenger to another beautiful world or dimension. This remarkable system has the capacity to enhance an individual's sense of well-being and effect positive change in ways that these imaginative wunderkind and their team of experts are only just beginning explore. "

Thank you Peggy!

Jeremy Rifkin Experiences the Future

Jeremy Rifkin, noted futurist, lecturer, author and President of the "The Foundation on Economic Trends", in Washington, DC, had the opportunity to experience the future, here in Ojai, California, which is an emerging center for complementary therapies and frontier medicine. Here is written commentary by Jeremy Rifkin (JR) following his visit to our studio last year.

Old news: April, 29, 2004

The system works incredibly well, does everything we hoped even better than expected and we are determined to take it out to the world soon. Parties around the globe are in discussion with us now.

Jeremy Rifkin, President of the Foundation on Economic Trends in Washington D.C. and widely published author and futurist, came here and experienced both of our systems. He was quite enthused by the potential of using our aromaComposer + chair system for healing, psychotherapy and teaching/learning purposes. You may hear more from him soon.

"Multisensory research is now an interdisciplinary scientific field concerned with the neural and psychological mechanisms of intersensory interaction". The concept of the Multisensory Environment is now widely accepted as an effective therapy for special needs populations and for the staff that care for them.

Developed from the Dutch "Snoezelen" concept there are thousands of MSE's worldwide developing new ways to encourage awareness, exploration, and learning.
