Virtual Reality... That You Can Smell 🤔

- Can you imagine watching your favorite cooking show and being able to smell the aromas? 😍
Well, a new bit of technology could make this possible - the Escents!
Power couple Anastasia and Ivan are the inventors behind the London-based startup Scentient, that is making immersive experiences more memorable and realistic. Their device 'Escents' uses a central tracking system to release smells, enhancing virtual and real life experiences. It can be used with a VR headset, smartphone or in actual reality and releases up to six different scents in one session.
Although the entertainment industry is in their sights, the couple have focused their attention on a more practical industry first: the emergency services. Their device can be used for training of the police force, firefighters and many more, improving the quality of training across the country.
Our team put this innovative new device to the test...

The lady in black is a savant at smells! What an interesting technology
You couldn't tell she was cheating then?
Wait how was she cheating?@@Mkbshg8
@@Mkbshg8 ey?
@@moldiworp9143 I'll let you figure out how I noticed.
Yeah, it's pretty neat, but I got scared about the "decomposition" part.
The girl with the black jacket should be a parfumer, I was amazed how she could guess precisely what it is she's smelling 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
She’s also the only one smelling correctly, by wafting the scent towards herself!
we should be boycotting russia
Fun fact: Smell-O-Vision was invented in 1960 for a movie called “Scent of a Mystery”. 30 odors were released by the device at specific times throughout the movie triggered by the soundtrack.
Truly the smell technology of all time
I thought of this a long time ago as a wonderful business to have, but I don't have any idea how to start it. It is great to know that they made it possible.
Watching food videos while fasting gonna be hard as hell
Now we want Taste VR
"It just makes scents."
Yeah, that pun makes sense. X3
That lady was just here to show off her scent skills
While at Kalahari Poconos over winter break, I went on the Anaconda water slide, which had VR. I first did it without VR, then chose the VR where you fight a dragon, then the VR where you shoot floating boxes for points, and I actually got the high score!
It does add a lot to any VR experience. I released ScentVR last year and all feedback has been very positive. Quite a bit different hardware though.
"Number A" can't take that guy anywhere... 😉
I can't believe this actually got developed into something I thought of making when I was around 13 years old: a device for TVs that would spray the smell depending on the composition of the scene and actual base chemicals available inside the device. But in my idea, those base chemicals would make every possible smell by just mixing in real time. Damn I could have become rich!
6 is quite huge actually. A smell of Rain, Forest, Dessert, Ocean, Kitchen/Inn, Cave... ❤❤❤❤❤
babe, wake up.
They finally made smell o vision
This proves something I've noticed in some of my lab classes. Women have a better and more refined sense of smell.
Really? I'm a girl and I can't smell things at all!
I feel bad trying to explain to family that I can't smell the candles they give me. 😅
Wow guys 🎉
All the best for your project ❤
This could work great if the delivery method was different.... The way they are atomizing the oils to the open air around your face could result in your VR hardware breaking. All modern headsets have active cooling with fans and heat sinks, and all that atomized oil could impact the heat dissipation resulting in overheating or damage to internals... Maybe if they designed a face mask type enclosure it could minimize exposure to the headsets and reduce the amount of oils used in each session. 😅
Настя и Иван, вы классные! Короткое видео, но впечатляет! Теперь хочется попробовать не только питерские пышки, но и Ваше изобретение. Спасибо за мотивацию и гордость !❤️
This is really awesome
I remember that back then to promote the Stick of Truth, Ubisoft made a smell machine thing so you can smell the fart as you fart in-game
I can remember going to a Saturday matinee as a 9 or 10 yr old in 1958-9-60 ?, something most kids did back then, to a smell-o-rama? and it was a travelogue on the Great Wall of China and they cut open an orange that you could smell then I remember in India there showed a funeral on the river, cremating a body on a floating sandalwood pyre and you could smell the burning sandalwood, to name a couple of aromas. I don’t know if they placed these aromas through the air conditioning system or the projectionist was using a bug spray pump, but the whole show was bogus.
Finally! Now I can smell the headcrab zombies!
In the immortal words of a _Looney Tunes_ theater short, “Smellevision replaces Television?” 😮
Synthetic rubbers these days are usually made from petroleum. I’d give the lady 6/6.
They said they could only do 6 scents at one time right?!? That would actually be perfectly fine. Say they are working with game developers, they could just do game specific scent packs. Like an easy to use cartridge you plug in before you start playing. Then along with the game developers, they could have the scents activate where ever the game designers want. If they could figure out different combinations that work when mixed then the 6 initial scents would be like a base. Then have them mix to make other scents . If they do it right those 6 initial scents could become dozens of separate combinations. 🤔 That would be so cool!
My Cities: Skylines city full of raw sewage and decomposing bodies is sure going to smell great with this!
What'd you create? Raccoon City?
@@Cameleonbates Indeed I did
Iam an Anosmic i wish they invent gadgets to warn us about foul especially body odours 😊
I have a couple movies planned that are made for 5DX "Aromatherapy".
I wonder if they have a corn scent
where can i get it? what is the name of this device?
The potential to become the likes of Sword Art Online (or just VR-MMORPG other than that), well there's still a dozen of technological leaps and miracles to go, this (even though that went way back in the 20th century) is still years and years away. Still interesting.
What's this?? 8:08
Genius
😮😮😮
I can imagine smells, I don't need VR😅
Imagine VRchat 💀
They should also partner with gaming companies!
the smellivision
cool beans
so the adult industry gets ahold of this and then what
There were two thumbnails. One was used after video release, and one which replaced the original thumbnail after upload.
Thanks for alerting everyone to this!
Not in VR chat im not
depends
Imagine a zombie game, it's going to be horrible.
GBS Nice 👃
What The Rock is cooking
Smell VR?... I'm sorry but I like to know what chemicals my future cancer diagnosis came from
How is it much different to cologne, scents added to soap/shampoo, scented candles, etc.?
THE CHEMICCALLL!!!!
THE CHEMICAL KIL ME
THE CHEMICALS IN THE WATER
Apple Vision Pro Not again 💀
Tf did u just ask me?
Second.
Why does it smell like fish in here?
Fart simulator
im amazed how bad people are at identifying scents...also we definitely experience more than 6 scents in a day. They are just making an excuse for their product
Terrible product design, that thing is absolutely massive. Can be 1/10th the size and weight. You don't want this thing around your neck just for the gimmick of smelling something.
Mostly this is absolutely and pointlessly ridiculous.
Looks like smell-o-vision isn’t too far off. 🙄
We already have things that can detect gas leaks without having to own a several hundred dollar piece of equipment.
Lame
Just a girl without a degree using dangerous chemicals to make vapors. At this point, I’d wear a gas mask
