When smell meets VR: Scent technology blends up to 8 fragrances for immersive virtual experiences

A multi-channel wearable scent display developed at Institute of Science Tokyo allows a user to experience multiple scents while exploring virtual environments. Based on virtual scenes, the device can blend up to eight fragrances in real time and deliver them with precise control of odor intensity. By synchronizing smell with virtual reality content, the device enables better immersion and realism, opening new possibilities for enhanced digital entertainment, realistic simulation training, and future digital scent technologies.
