OVR Technology, has introduced
the Architecture of Scent (AOS) to bring olfaction to VR through hardware,
software, and scentware components. After two and a half years of development,
the company’s primary use cases are in healthcare, training and education, with
an eye towards gaming and immersive experiences for the consumer audience.
Capturing scents often means
going to the place of origin, sampling the air and ingredients, teasing out its
different components, and then replicating scents in the lab; one geographical
area could mean dozens to hundreds of tests. OVR Technology is also designed to
recreate complex sensory environments, rather than just one scent at a time.
