- Sensory design for enhancing perceptual experience: 80/20 olfactory training kit. A project for the recovery and rehabilitation of the sense of olfactionPublication . Carlomagno, Michela; Jayed, IbitssamThe study begins with the observation of an increase in sensory and perceptual disor-ders related to the loss, temporary reduction, or alteration of the sense of smell in recent years, following pandemic events and climate changes. These conditions have significant implications both for individuals' dietary habits and their overall health.The contribute aims to provide, through the development of a therapeutic tool, a training kit for olfactory rehabilitation in individu-als who have experienced the alteration or gradual loss of olfactory receptors due to certain neurodegenerative pathologies.The first part of the paper analyzes the evolu-tion of design approaches aimed at defining products, tools, and services that incorporate multisensory experiences into the design, en-hancing the interaction between food and consumers in the context of changing sensory perceptions.The second part, through the selection of rel-evant case studies, describes the experiments conducted by designers, artists, and research-ers on the theme of olfactory perception, ad-dressing three levels: cognitive and narrative, functional and aesthetic, and communicative.In the final part, the paper describes the design experience of the "80/20 Olfactory Training Kit," a set of tools for olfactory re-covery and rehabilitation. The kit aims to raise users' awareness of aroma perception. The tool, composed of six aroma compounds, aims to train memory and restore a correct perception of smell and taste through a train-ing experience and a system of verification and visualisation of the progress achieved.The goal is to highlight how the design of multisensory and synesthetic experiences not only enhances tasting modalities but also has a positive impact on individuals' health and the environment.
