Plug in and start sniffing with the Gamescent and a host of AI driven smells.
And you thought we wouldn’t find a good use for AI! The team at Gamescent, yep you read that right, has just revealed the Gamescent. You will soon be able to truly turn up he in game immersion in a way that even the best controller can’t quite compare to. The brand-new bit of home hardware aims to use a patent-pending adaptor to capture audio in real-time and convert it into an appropriate smell.
Whether it’s the sound of a burning ship or the sweet allure of the garage, the Gamescent’s innovative AI system will release scents that correspond with the on-screen action, or so the release statement says. The team behind this inventive new way to play suggest that players in game will find this experience delivered by a range of cartridges, including the likes of:
• Gun Fire: Experience the intensity of a firefight when you shoot through an FPS
• Explosion: Feel the magnitude of a blast.
• Racing: Sense the speed and thrill of the track as you race through the latest motorsport sim
• “Clean Air”: instantly neutralizes any scents in the room.
• Storm: Immerse yourself in the fresh smell after a storm.
• Forest: Connect with the soothing aura of nature.
These easy-to-swap cartridges keep the sensory adventure going while the Air Neutralizer allows players to manually trigger “Clean Air” to neutralize all scents after a gaming session. Additional scents will also be available for purchase separately in the future, such as Blood, Ocean, Sports Arena, and Fresh Cut Grass.
If the smell of grass is as close as you’ll get to the real thing, or you just want to level up your VR game, then the Gamescent is already available for around $179.99 or local equivalent. For those of you able to get out and about, you can stick your nose in front of the Gamescent when pax East arrives, at booth #11038.
Me, I’m still not even sure what to think, but it’s got to be better than the Vortx. Right?
