CES 2023: Smelling, touching take centre stage in metaverse


An attendee tries OVR Technology's ION 3, a wearable scent technology which delivers olfactory smells which correlate with items a user interacts with in the VR and AR environment, during CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Jan 6, 2023. The ION3 hardware and scent cartridge, integrated under the VR goggles, can produce thousands of unique smell combinations. When a user virtually picks up a rose and brings it to their nose, for example, or a marshmallow roasted on an open fire, the ION3 cartridge will release the analogous scent. — AFP
