I've had the pleasure of using plenty of grenades and rockets. Going into a room that a grenade just went off in does NOT smell like axe and weed. It stings your nose with more of a very thick black smoke, toxic like smell. Similar to the smell of a rifle chamber right after firing, but still different. A smell I have never had anything similar enough to even describe it well.
@@aJazzyFeel no, fireworks smell more like smoke. The chamber of a rifle smells much more like carbon. I suppose fireworks would be more of a lighter smell, while gun smoke smells more robust.
@@HoldMyPoopKnifeguns have no used black powder since a couple centuries ago, and black powder is not explosive (it burns quickly but doesn't explode) so it would not be used in a grenade. Modern explosives and propellant ("smokeless") powder don't really use sulfur in any meaningful capacity, except to maybe slow down burning. Usually they all just use nitrogen oxygen and carbon as nitrogen bonds can hold a lot of energy. So there's really no one element that contributes to the smell as they're all odorless, it's just the shapes they take that five off odd smells.
This thing relies on internet connectivity, all your audio is sent online for processing, and then scent commands are sent back. Consider the implications of that if you also end up running voice chat through it.
And. In the vídeo, Elijah mentioned using the video output to determine what scent should be used... Imagine all your passwords being logged and sent to who knows where lol
"Golf Course" almost certainly just smells like fresh cut grass. "Forest" would probably smell more like wet moss, sap, bark dust, and pine or fir needles. "Human Exertion" is a nice way of saying "smells like a sweaty dude".
Smell is absolutely something that could take the immersion of games and movies to a whole new level, but the side effect of filling my room with smelly perfumes is definitely a deal breaker, regardless of whether the product works well or not. I am not a fan of my bed sheets smelling like zombies or my face reeking of swamp. Just because I'd like to immerse myself in the entertainment doesn't mean I want my room, my furniture and the clothes I'm wearing to reek of what I just played. And I can't even begin to imagine how allergenic some of those perfumes might be.
I would imagine the future of smell based media (if there even is one) is carefully tuned and crafted scents to go off at pre-set times at a movie theater or a game cutscene. Rather than something like this, where the game/movie is separate from the smells and the timing.
The problem with smell is that it isn't really additive, so there can never be a device like a screen or a speaker which can replicate any arbitrary scent. It's like if our only way of replicating music still was playing it live on each instrument according to musical notation. And then you give dubstep growls encoded in some absolutely cursed notation to classical musicians and they just look at you in confusion...
Could, kinda, work with movies, with a script that tells it what to spurt out at certain times. Like, closed captions. [smell of gunpowder] I don't dislike the idea. I was playing Oblivion, long time ago, it was raining in-game, wind howling, rain, happened to have an oscillating fan on. Got a jolt of, wow, that really immersed me. Just, needs less AI thinking what we want to smell, more, devs thinking there should be storm smell here.
This should be marketed as a cinema product. Smellivision for the streaming age if you will. Have timestamps and corresponding smell combos for popular movies available to download via the app and allow users to make their own custom profiles for lesser known movies. that would be a much better experience. Delay would not be a problem because timestamps and you would need less processing on device. since movie scenes last longer the experience would be much more significant.
“That kinda concept that came out since TVs have been around where you can smell the media you’re listening to.” And with that opening volley, the world surmised that the Bard of Avon had been dethroned.
Funny thing about war. I don't actually remember smelling gunfire, mostly I smelled petrochemical and death. It's funny because I'm sure I experienced much more gunfire.
Every time I see a Game Scent kind of product i think of that one part in Shadow of the Tomb Raider where Lara crawls on top of soupy dead bodies through a small tunnel.
I'm just reminded of ready player one (the book not movie) where game devs would put in really offensive odors just to troll people who bought the smellovision module
ELIJAH!!! I'm excited to see him as a host of videos across LMG's network of channels, he seems happier than the other hosts and isn't monotone like Plouffe
You should have Elijah on here doing this more often. You're not doing him justice most of the time in contrast to what he's done in this video as well. He's good in his own comfort zone. I liked this video for real. I'd love to see him doing this kind of stuff more often
The only way smell effects could work in a game is if an big enclosed arcade game invention had a version of it that works perfectly tailored to it, and the game would also be creatively structured with it in mind apart of its gameplay. This would be something you'd have to play to experience, like going to a movie theater, but this idea sounds fun.
I think the reason it's so delayed is because it's querying an AI model remotely and awaiting a response before it triggers the smell. Probably why they don't process video as well, because then it would take even longer to upload video of your game to some server somewhere and wait for an AI model to report back with probably the wrong answer. Overall, just kind of a bad way to do it. It *does* technically make it compatible with any game (or anything that produces sound, would be especially wild with music I imagine) but it does so at the cost of having a massive delay between something happening on screen and a smell being produced. The ideal solution would be a local model, but that seems a bit beyond the scope of the Gamer Smell Box 5000.
"I've never been to a golf course" and "It doesn't smell like recent gunfire, it smells like old gunfire". Never been to a golf course, but smells gunfire frequently. 😂
I went to the museum of science a few years ago and they had a 4d theater with sents playing a shortened version of the polar express. It was actually pretty cool but there was a smell that was supposed to be linked with hot cocoa I think that was absolutely nauseating. It’s still stuck in my head
Hubby asked me to look into this (I'm a gamer, "techie", and have a business in the fragrance industry). One issue with this company is that they focused too much on the tech and not enough on the scent production. It's clear a "techie" came up with the idea and was too tech focused, leaving the scent production to the wayside. They'd do well hiring a fragrance master to properly curate the scents instead of (what I assume they're doing) relying on a chinese manufacturer to curate for them. I also HIGHLY doubt 1.69oz lasts 4-5k sprays. As I said, I'm also a gamer, but I can't imagine having to smell all of this if I had a partner/roommate/family member who played COD hours at a time every day (as he pointed out). Not even sure THEY would want to smell this the entire time, they'd prob turn it off (then what was the point of owning it?) This makes the market fairly niche. I think it's probably best for adventure games like Skyrim, WoW, Red Dead, Horizon Zero Dawn, Zelda, etc. FYI, those other scents STILL aren't for sale, and they've changed (ocean, blood, sports arena, cut grass). Printing those on the box but not selling them is a sign of a flailing company that rushes through development and uses customers as alpha/beta testers (which we've clearly seen here) & their money as dev capital. They're doing a kickstarter model without being transparent with the customers. Promises without follow through. Tread carefully if you are going to spend $150 on this device. FWIW, this could be done correctly, but I think the device would cost a lot more (it needs to have visual AND audio capture, onboard processing, etc). Aromajoin is just one company working on this tech (properly). I'd wait to get in on gaming smell-o-vision for a bit, I'm sure much better things are coming.
Many many years ago I wrote a lengthy letter to PC Gamer magazine about how smells could greatly improve our immersion but in that letter (I was 16 at the time) I said that you'd need about 20 basic smells to MIX together to achieve the right affect. Oil, burning wood, burning rubber, grass, flowers, trees, gun powder, sewage, rust, damp wood, rain, damp dirt, pond water, river water, sea, etc. etc. Basically stuff you'd encounter in a LOT of games. And this set? It lacks the really basic smells of water (which has a powerful smell in nature) which you encounter all the time in nature & would be easy to pick up with audio but in my letter I said that the game itself would need to support the system because you'd want it to be scripted. Shooting at trees = smell of trees + gun powder. A burnout in a game = oil + burning rubber. Until they can do this, all these smell systems will be pointless and a gimmick.
a bunch of nothing instantly expanded - stars, planets, and comets were formed - solar systems - entire galaxies were created, and destroyed by gravity. and amidst this chaos -this product was created, timing up with us having our host, on this channel on youtube, being created. the universe is wild, friends
its a cool idea, but you would need a few things to make this work: 1. direct access to the nose, so random things don't linger 2. far more scents. things like "storm" is way too broad 3. more accurate scents 4. visual aid. as, sounds can only get so far 5. low latency. the delay shown here is just too long for something like a shooter or racing game 6. doesn't give you a headache
4:04 As a long time experienced vaper. (i know, shutup) I can confirm that the awful smell from seemingly nothing was the polyester or cotton batting they wrap the atomizer coil in. That output is probably cooked, since that happened. It's like dry firing a vape. You don't do it unless you want to destroy the coil.
I'm not ready to write off smell-o-vision as a dead idea. After all, 4D experience rides like Disney's Soarin seem to do it in a way that people enjoy. But I think it's about a) subtlety, and b) a more curated experience. They idea that you'd just put a bunch of super strong, super weird scents into an atomizer and let the AI at it is crazy to me.
I genuinely think this has potential, they ned to work on some things tho - Delay on sprays needs to be lowered, better more realistic scents, display scanning, and price. But I wanna have hope for it
oh i'm noticing the two different thumbnails now that you guys talked about it. And different titles too! interesting interesting...and on the same account logged into it. so different ways to 'catch' attention.
I feel like this tech has come and gone so many times through the late 90's/2k's. In concept it's cool...but in execution it's never gotten it right. Also, Elijah, does the forest smell like dirt and pine needs with crisp cold air. Hope it does. Also, grass smell + Mowing Simulator = this might ACTUALLY be worth it.
Honestly this would be really cool in super in depth games like ARMA depending on how the AI reacts to the changes in supposed scents. Being able to smell gunpowder and explosions during a storm or in a forest would actually be pretty fun.
@@SpiceCh It's basically a scam, technically not as you get the product but 150 for something that simply doesn't actually works like it claims... there are many of those around.
Thanks short circuit for reviewing silly stuff like this. Its something 99% of us would never think to buy but would still love to see how its suppose to be used.
There is a forest lichen used in many perfumes called oak moss (Evernia prunastri). I wonder if that is what they are using for the forest. I would like the smell of harbour and docks. It is a combination of sea salt, a bit of tar, and a tiny bit of fuel.
Instead of having 6 bottles with one specific smell each, it should have a bunch of small or big bottles with different fragrance that the AI would mix to create a much bigger variety of smells. Remember Nosulus? the April fools South Park fart smell device? This could be it but we are not there yet...
You know, at least the AI is doing more than being a marketing trick. Overall seems kinda useless but kinda neat. On another note, I really enjoy Elija as a host. Excited to see him more in the future.
They will need to sort out how to remove smells from the room when you're done or else they're going to linger in the air for a while. When you turn off a TV the sound and picture instantly go away. Not so much with particles floating in the air.
I could see a version of this that is much more accurate. Like if you can actually smell Pine as a character is weighing through a forest with pine trees or whatever, then it would be really cool or if you are near an ocean in a game like GTA 5 and the causal salty air smell picks up but not if it's a non reactive gimmick

oh i'm noticing the two different thumbnails now that you guys talked about it. And different titles too! interesting interesting...and on the same account logged into it. so different ways to 'catch' attention.
"I can't turn the smell down"
Just dilute it. It'll last longer that way too.
11:04 confirmed he’s held marijuana.
😂
I feel like this tech has come and gone so many times through the late 90's/2k's. In concept it's cool...but in execution it's never gotten it right. Also, Elijah, does the forest smell like dirt and pine needs with crisp cold air. Hope it does. Also, grass smell + Mowing Simulator = this might ACTUALLY be worth it.
Honestly this would be really cool in super in depth games like ARMA depending on how the AI reacts to the changes in supposed scents. Being able to smell gunpowder and explosions during a storm or in a forest would actually be pretty fun.
Just looks like something that would be fun for a few times or possibly for streamers as a fun thing for them to do on stream.
this product is suche a scam, you never smell the right thing
Idk if scam. But seems undercooked. Also not sure I'm a fan of filling my room with "gaming perfumes".
@@SpiceCh It's basically a scam, technically not as you get the product but 150 for something that simply doesn't actually works like it claims... there are many of those around.
Overpromise and underdeliver, that's how Silicon Valley startups work these days.
"do you guys remember smelloVISION? Thst kinda concept... Where you can smell the media you're LISTENING to"
Elijah, 2024.
"Car driving and drifting" 😂😂😂 that was a wreck lmao
If you want more than 6 scents, just buy 2 units and daisy chain the Y-splitters. It should work, right?
Now we need floatplane/ltt member exclusive where Elijah watches his own video with this thing on to see if it triggers something.
Golf courses are largely open spaces. Fresher air. Woods are damper. There is a distinct smell. You need to go outside more :P
Thanks short circuit for reviewing silly stuff like this. Its something 99% of us would never think to buy but would still love to see how its suppose to be used.
Finally I can smell the dragon's toes in paper mario
Can't wait to smell the metallic tinge of blood while playing hell let loose 😂
There is a forest lichen used in many perfumes called oak moss (Evernia prunastri). I wonder if that is what they are using for the forest.
I would like the smell of harbour and docks. It is a combination of sea salt, a bit of tar, and a tiny bit of fuel.
Elijah can never leave LTT.. We need him.. 😂
"Son get off the game" **sniff sniff** "is that.... physical human exertion?"
Instead of having 6 bottles with one specific smell each, it should have a bunch of small or big bottles with different fragrance that the AI would mix to create a much bigger variety of smells.
Remember Nosulus? the April fools South Park fart smell device? This could be it but we are not there yet...
You know, at least the AI is doing more than being a marketing trick. Overall seems kinda useless but kinda neat.
On another note, I really enjoy Elija as a host. Excited to see him more in the future.
It's Amazing that LTT Labs closed Nathan Lane and made Elijah.
"While u get a sniff...of our sponsor!...Manscape!!" 😂😂😂😂
They will need to sort out how to remove smells from the room when you're done or else they're going to linger in the air for a while. When you turn off a TV the sound and picture instantly go away. Not so much with particles floating in the air.
How long until someone mods this to have Cannabis or Nicotine?
I could see a version of this that is much more accurate. Like if you can actually smell Pine as a character is weighing through a forest with pine trees or whatever, then it would be really cool or if you are near an ocean in a game like GTA 5 and the causal salty air smell picks up but not if it's a non reactive gimmick
We are working on a more accurate device. How many scents would you put into a device if you could?
Not even 60 seconds into ShortCircuit and chill and there are TWSS jokes
Finally, with Napalm; my immersion into Spec Ops the Line will be complete.
Is this Elijah's first video!?! Legend.
If the the trailer is doing a 'burnout', I would expect more Marijuana.
This is the PERFECT product for Elijah to review. Great work!
5D cinema scents now available for you... Add wind and water splashing for even more immersion.
"Hey make it smell like war" 😭😭
Getting a new GPU for 4K gaming < Getting a new GPU to do AI stink calculations as you game
i think you could substitute almost all of them with either old fart or wet fart.
They added computer collage, sound. How to make a bad idea worse, bad scent matching vs tailored scent
