A new level of immersion is coming to video games in the way of GameScent. Many people have aroma dispensers in their homes, but GameScent aims to fully immerse the player into the game world they are currently in. A new device that doesn’t require an SDK to train, will be powered by AI to disperse different aromas based on the scene. GameScent is also compatible with all gaming and streaming platforms that also includes VR. Audio-to-Scent Translation will be instantaneous as AI analyzes the scene in real time and determines the most fitting scent.
“Studies have shown that the sense of smell imprints in long-term memory more strongly than anything else”, said Casey Bunce, President. “With GameScent, we’re hoping to elevate gamers’ experiences to be more exciting and memorable than they ever have been before.”
