From immersive graphics to 3D effects to make characters even more lifelike, videogames have certainly got the visuals down. What gamers haven’t experienced yet is something that tickles their sense of smell. But that’s all about to change with ScentScape.

    I remember hearing about this years ago. I big, no thanks, from me. I honestly can't see how it could work well unless the machine assumes something smells a certain way. Some things can be copied well, but other things such as in fantasy and so forth that we see in games in particular, have no set smell associated with them for the machine to try to produce.

    The technology will fail, horrifically in my educated opinion (lol). Its a company creating a product because they think it will be "cool" fact of the matter is there's not much need for it, nor want. Companies like Nokia do this all the time when presenting research. Its a nice "innovation" but they should put their resources to better use.

    The tech better come with a washable keyboard as seriously most people will be sick from some of the smells especially a zombie. It is common sense that the smell of rotting flesh won't be a nice one lol..
