Adding an Olfactory Dimension To Games

Posted by Soulskill on from the secret-cow-level-not-so-alluring-anymore dept.

cylonlover writes "California-based company Scent Sciences is looking to bring an olfactory dimension to computer games with its ScentScape personal digital scent delivery system. The ScentScape Gaming Suite system consists of a unit that plugs into a PC or gaming console via USB and generates smells using scent cartridges. As well as aiming for the development of ScentScape-capable games from games developers, the system also allows gamers to add scents to existing games and share these with other ScentScape system users."

    Plenty of games stink already.

    Really i can only think of a few real uses for this... And honestly i don't want to smell any of those things either.
