Olfactory Perceptual Encoding (OLPX): A Device-Independent Representation Layer for Odor Experience

Key Points

The aim is to present a new format, OLPX, for encoding olfactory experiences independently from specific hardware or molecules.
Introduced a perceptual-layer file format for odors.
Defined a multidimensional coordinate space for olfactory content.
Established a category table and timing parameters for synchronization.
OLPX allows olfactory content to be authored and stored across different devices.
Provides a framework for encoding odor experiences without hardware constraints.

Abstract

This preprint introduces OLPX, a perceptual-layer file format that encodes odor events without referencing specific molecules or hardware. OLPX defines a multidimensional coordinate space, a category table, and timing parameters so olfactory content can be authored, stored, and synchronised across devices. Numerical constants and implementation tables are reserved for a later technical release.
