A new gadget intends to take your Virtual Reality gaming to the next level. It is called the Feelreal Sensory mask and it attaches to the front of your VR googles. All while simulating the smells of objects and environments you see on screen.
According to the company’s website, the device can simulate hundreds of scenes. Furthermore, it supports not just games but movies and other entertainment media as well.
It can apparently simulate lavender if you want to feel relaxed. In case you are playing a racing game, the Feelreal Sensory mask can apparently simulate burning tire smells as well. When playing a first-person shooter game, it can also simulate gunpowder odor.
