Regardless of if that's a real product or not, including scents with other media has been tried before.

It NEVER ends well.

You ever had expired scratch'n'sniff books? Yea...

Valley of Defilement/Blight Town as Miyazaki intended it to be played. Oh but since this is Warframe forum, Zariman hub. For err non creepy reasons, I swear. Won't be playing as Saryn, Grendel or Nidus for a while either. No offence to them. I just get the sense... they have particular scents.

Wow, someone invented an AI fart box, what a world we live in

Such a beautiful world we live. I won't be able to travel in space but at least I can feel it. :|

However I think it's not new tech. I think when whole "3d cinema movies" were introduced, someone thought about scent stuffs

As it's nice tech, it's only one that I'm not interested in.

How does this actually work? Does it have a set amount of smells it can release?

Or does the AI try to make a guess at what the enviroment would smell like and combines compounds?

 

I wonder what The Void would smell like, I imagine it'd be minty.

It holds up to 6 scents that it can release, the scents are premade generic things.  It tries to guess what it should release based on what it sees (HDMI passthrough, assuming an unencrypted signal), or hears (audio passthrough).

Assuming that it can even make good guesses, you will need to have one slot filled with the "neutralizer" (which I doubt even works all that well), otherwise you're just going to end up with all the scents lingering at the same time and it'll be awful.

Even if it does work, it'll be awful as half the smells aren't things you're going to want to smell nearly as much as you're going to smell them.

Yeah I imagine currently it's a meme, but maybe one day it'll have some unironic use that people might want to try.

But for the moment (if they haven't already done so) I can imagine implementing a "Blacklist" of smells so you don't end up with something putrid.

e.g. smell the rain and forest, while ignoring death and decay, giving you only the positives without the negative smells.

Though I imagine many people would probably enable the smell of Blood since that's probably not as bad as what else could be cooked up.

amazes me that some people are still trying to get "smell-O-vision" to be a thing: the easiest way to overload someone's senses, or make them leave, is through bad smells; nobody wants to be in a room where someone's farted, right?

I get the idea with the "gunfire" being more immersive for playing shooters etc, but I can smell real gunpowder anytime lol, why drink off-brand Soda when you can have Coke?

To quote Death Battle

"Because it's cool, Wiz."

I think it's a gimmick but I also think VR is a gimmick so there'll probably be a market for it.

I'm not really a huge VR guy, but at least VR has some mechanical foundation that lets it straddle the line between gimmick and interesting.

Calling this "smell-o-vision but for games" a gimmick is kind of an insult to gimmicks imo.
