Smells incorporation into VR
Let’s talk about what we are the most concentrated on: scents! It is one of the senses which gives a perception to the environment. Our actions and even mood depends on the scents we are smelling. No wonder why there were many attempts to incorporate scents into different technologies. The attempts started in 1906 with scents incorporation into theatre and continues to nowaday with an audiovisual industry. It would be unfair to compare scents technology back then and now. But we can compare scents technologies on these days! It improved throughout the century and now it is easier to use and feel. But is it enough? We will try to answer this question.
We know that phrase ‘audiovisual industry’ sounds very abstract. To be more clear, this is what you should know: you could find Digital Scent Technology in cinemas, VR games, theme parks, museums, and even at your own home! Besides Olorama Technology, there are two other companies, which incorporates scents in such venues: FeelReal and 4DX.
