ScentSciences, a California-based company, has developed a gadget that can add a third dimension to computing - scent, in addition to audio and visuals that we have today. This gadget can be plugged into the computer through a USB port, and it can produced relevant smell based on the visuals.
This technology will revolutionize multimedia games with great audio and 3D visuals by adding a third feature – the smell. ScentScape is a digital scent delivery system to give olfactory experience to gamers. This gadget is installed with 20 scents such as ocean and flowers.
ScentScape is a relatively small gadget (3.5” x 4.25” x 5.5"), which can be connected to a USB port. It can be placed among speakers. Catridge will contain 20 scents. Each catridge will last about 200 hours depending on use. There is a control to adjust the smell intensity.
The machine will use software algorithms to create the relevant odor related to the visuals or the game played. If you are watching the visuals of a slum, ScentScape will generate the smell characteristic of slums. As computing gets more realistic, be prepared to face the scent that the software will be producing based on what you watch on the screen. Price is not known yet.
This gadget is likely to hit markets by the end of the year.
