Abstract

In this paper, we describe SNIFF, an integrated software and hardware environment meant to assess and train the sense of smell with a gamified approach. The sense of smell is usually neglected in digital application, but is important because it can foster motivation and engagement in learners.
SNIFF can be played in two modes, the assessment and the training which exploits the functionalities of an intelligent tutoring systems support. SNIFF was preliminary tested on 19 people to validate stimuli and the tool effectiveness in discriminating people smelling abilities.
