Who needs reality anymore? The “next big stink” in entertainment technology is the ScentScape. A “modern-day Smell-O-Vision,” this scent-delivery system can help create a uniquely immersive experience whether you’re spending a lonely night with a first-person-shooter game or screening a travel video for friends. The device connects to a PC via a USB port and can be programmed to emit a sequence of up to 20 odors from its scent cartridge.
