GameScent has introduced an AI-powered Automated Gaming Scent Atomizer, priced at $180, which emits scents matching the game being played, including blood, gunfire, and explosions, as well as "clean air." The product has garnered attention and is available for purchase, with some users praising its ability to create immersive experiences, while others question the necessity of filling their rooms with such scents.
Engineers from Beihang University and the City University of Hong Kong have developed a VR headset that can emit 30 different odors to its wearer, including coffee, mojito, pancakes, and ethanol. The headset uses small paraffin wax pads infused with scents that are heated by an attached electrode to release the scent. The technology aims to expand the range of haptics for VR users and could be used beyond gaming, including to enhance remote learning classrooms and help amnesic patients recall lost memories. The engineers aim to shrink the overall size of the odor generators to extend the longevity of the scents and limit the delay time when users switch between the odors.
