Abstract
A convenient system with replacement hardware is provided for rendering scents within a computing environment. In some implementations, a scent cartridge unit is provided that is replaceable within a scent-rendering hardware unit that is computer-controlled to render one or more scents to be experienced by a user. The scent-rendering hardware unit includes one or more aerosol generators that are adapted to release individual scents. In some implementations, more than one scent may be released at the same time, rendering a complex scent. In some implementations, base scent material may be provided within multiple aerosol generators within an array, and the base scent material may be released in predetermined amounts, durations, and intensities depending on the desired scent. The array may be electronically driven by signals provided by driver circuitry.
