Have you ever wondered what your favorite game worlds smell like? Even if you haven’t, a company called GameScent is about to give you an answer with its eponymously named device. If GameScent sounds like Smell-O-Vision for video games, that’s because it kind of is … only utilizing modern technology.
GameScent utilizes AI to automatically release scents that correspond with gameplay. The machine’s adapter captures audio in real-time which the AI then processes to release specific scents with the on-screen action. Said aromas are meant to invoke the scents of battle, speeding cars, forest fragrances and even fresh rain. GameScent is compatible with many devices, including home consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X and the best gaming PCs.
