The world of video games always brings vast lands accompanied by super beautiful and impressive scenery and graphics. With virtual reality technology, players can almost touch the environment in games in a simple way. But there is still an element that gamers can never clearly feel. That’s the scent. Indeed, it will be almost impossible to smell gunpowder smoke in FPS games. However, recently a device was born and contributed to significantly improving this feature.
That device is called GameScent. It may sound silly, but GameScent is powered by AI that can record sounds in real time and process those sounds to emit scents that correspond to on-screen action. So, if gamers are playing something like the stylish racing game Need for Speed Unbound, they may notice the smell of gasoline, exhaust fumes, and sometimes suffocation. It is known that the price of this set of equipment is not cheap, up to 180 USD (about more than 4 million VND). This device is also quite simple to operate, just plug it into your console, PC or TV’s HDMI port.
However, because it is still in a relatively early stage, GameScent’s flavor equipment list is still relatively limited. It only has 6 basic scents designed for several game titles including Gunshots, Explosions, Jungles, Racing, and Storms—with the last scent being a “Clean Air” scent that helps eliminate air-clogging smoke in your room. The device is fully compatible with consoles, PCs and VR headsets and was created with the aim of enhancing the experience for gamers.
In the future, GameScent will likely have more scents including Blood, Fresh Cut Grass, Sports Arena and Ocean. Currently, the device is on sale on the company’s official website as well as at Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop.
