Smells like Wii Spirit #1

I hope this isn't old: ^^


AreusTech invented a nice accessoire for the Wii: "Smells like Wii Spirit" creates individual scents for the game you're playing (depending on the situation).


Examples:
Mario Kart: burnt gum
Wii Sports: decent sweat aroma
Tiger Woods: fresh mowed grass
Galaxy: A lot of different scents: sweet, aromatic, acerb, etc.


They promises compatibility across all Wii-games and updates for new releases.

There's no way this is real.

1. Usage of the name "Wii".
2. Odor device? That doesn't exist! (does it?)

Ambx (the guys that do the PC wind and lights things) are supposedly trying their hand at it...

They said they can make most smells they want, but they cant get rid of them quick enough to introduce another one.

Actually, "smell boxes" have been used for returning soldiers suffering from PTSD, as part of their psychological counseling and therapy sessions. They're used in conjunction with visual aids, or even video games designed for PTSD soldiers.

On topic:

Lawl. Burnt gum? I don't want to smell burnt gum if I'm playing Mario Kart. I've gone on Go-karts before, and the experience is much more than just the smell of burning rubber. There's the wind in your face, the rumbling of the engine, the visceral feel of speed while turning, the noise of the tires and the engine, and looking at people with a stuck face as you pass them up

Seriously, no. Though Galaxy sounds interesting.

Well i like the idea of this if it's true anyways. Would be fun to see what smell we would get out of Wii music. The Smell of crushed dreams maybe?

Smell has powerful connections to memory, so at the very least it would make a game more memorable.

They ought to double-check their designs, I thought Sony patented Smell-o-vision

Endless Ocean = Salt water

There was a box like this for the PC demo'ed at a tech convention years ago that I saw on ZDTV. I don't think it ever came out. I wouldn't be surprised if these are the same people.

And this technology will be used for movies "soon", too. There where a lot of people interested on it.
