@@wreckronomic6663 Kidney stones are often easily diagnosed in areas without easy access to imaging (i.e. MRI or CT) by the distinct smell the give the urine. Other indicators are: cloudy urine, intensely-yellow urine, and blood in urinalysis. The odor isn't easily described until you smell it... then you know.
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.
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.
@@elbeetlebeastoguns 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.
"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".
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.
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.
“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.
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.
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
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.
@@SleepyFen 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.

The concept of this scent device for gaming is intriguing and weird. Not surprised by your headache-$150 is quite steep for a gimmick that ended up being less immersive and more of a nuisance.
Needs to be a compound that deteriorates quickly, so that it doesn't linger or mix. Needs to be in a box of 400 scents, and pulls the scent from the correct via as needed. Needs to be bundled with a good VR game. ... VR headsets need to be bundled with a good VR game, on that note.
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
