Most of our everyday life experiences are multisensory in nature. They involve many, if not all, of our senses, that is, sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, just to mention the ‘traditional’ ones. In this course, we take a journey through the world of multisensory experiences and multisensory experience design. This journey has an international focus that builds on initiatives from researchers and practitioners from all over the world.
