History
On November 27th, 2023, the gaming hardware company Gamescent announced[1] GameScent, an AI-powered gaming device that is able to generate a select number of smells to reflect in-game situations. The base kit can generate the smells of gunfire, explosions, racing, forest and storm, with "DLC" scents including napalm, sweat, ocean and golf course.
