A system may produce a multimedia presentation that includes visual stimuli, auditory stimuli, olfactory stimuli, thermal stimuli and air currents that are perceptible to a human user. All or part of the system may be housed in or affixed to a table or desk. Sensors may monitor physiology or activities of the user and provide feedback regarding the user's response to the presentation. A user may input instructions for the system. Based on these instructions, the system may present a multimedia presentation which tends to produce a target physiological state of the user that is specified in the instructions or which tends to maintain a current physiological state of the user. The system may employ a control space to control the presentation. This control space may have axes that correspond to how a user perceives multimedia presentations.
