Smell your video games with GameSkunk

Smell your video games with GameSkunk

Well, that certainly adds a new dimension. SensoryAcumen showed off its GameSkunk accessory at CES 2013. This gaming add-on promises to be able to let you smell 30,000 different odors to offer a better game immersion. It's unknown if any game developers have signed up to support the device, and while smelling games is an interesting concept, curious ... how will Zombies smell ?

The company’s Game Skunk product was first announced back in 2011, but it has resurfaced at CES 2013. In my hands-on (nose-on?) demo, a representative told me I should be able to catch the distinct scent of coffee. No such smell ever reached my nose, but that could have more to do with the scent-heavy scene at CES in Las Vegas than the actual Game Skunk product itself.

So what do you think? If game developers get on board with Game Skunk, would you be willing to smell the flowers in Flower or experience a steady scent of gunpowder in Call of Duty?
Besides being applicable for video games, SensoryAcumen also thinks the device may have potential in the medical world, for example for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

wuhu. it would be a fu... awesome to play resident evil, battlefield or metro 2033.

rotten & burned meat, gasoline, burned rubber and toxic gas.

new difficulty mode invented: easy - medium - hard- insane - do not vomit


to be honest. i sure would buy it, if it would make his job and could bring me, while gaming to my limits and my limits are rly high, caused by my job :D

what a horrible idea. all i want is to smell the burning flesh and decay that is constantly around the FPS/TPS shooter games i play. plus i bet the cordite smell kit would need to be replaced constantly.

And just to throw out a stupid annoying comment, do we really needs the video games to be more realistic than they already are? :bang:
