Been hearing about smellovision for years. We were promised unparalleled technological advancement in the 90s and these expectations were unrealistic. All we got was the IoT, better phones, a lack of privacy and Social media.

I've personally seen this running at a local university about 6 years ago who had a patent on the technology. They were using it with social work simulators and you could smell potential signs of problems on the walk through. Had a meth smell, whiskey smell, etc.

Of all the senses I could experience in a VR environment, smell would be my last choice.

I wonder if there is any research done to see how much demand there is for new technologies. Like touchscreen PCs and autonomous cars. Very few people seem to want them but companies spend a lot of money developing them anyway.

There’s a lot of VR mindfulness apps that could benefit from giving you the extra sensation of the smell of a beach on top of the sights and sounds, I think, alongside other environments like forest. All in all it seems pretty niche especially since you’d have to refill the thing and malicious people could make you smell shit

E: Smelling shit and other vile smells might be a selling point for horror games as well

When I play VR I play in front of a industrial fan for games outdoors or like in cockpits. A smell option would be interesting addition to the immersion.

I normally have my fan facing me for anything I tend to turn or adjust manually, like Boneworks. That way I can make sure to correct myself and not end up smacking my bed or desk if I turn too far XD

When I watch VR porn I often have a small fan pointed towards me with an open can of tuna placed in front of it. Works like a charm!

lol a friend of mine used to love pulling that shit all the time. Like he’d come in and be like “is something burning, do you smell something burning?!” And it’d be this wretched silent fart of his.

Well they're already close to releasing first prototype versions of touch in vr with the hydraulic? gloves to simulate touch. There's a few different companies that have come to similar approach. Plus there's the vr treadmills to simulate movement/touching the ground.

We already have sight, sound.

Now that smell has been thought up, how would they implement taste? I feel like we wouldn't be able to attempt this until we have full vr like sao. Honestly can't see it happening unless we get an implant. Maybe once smellvr has progressed, they can trick us into tasting with smells?

All in all, I would say taste would be the last thing I would want. I don't want someone in vr trolling me by tossing crap at me when I'm talking 🤣
