I’m running out of options for more immersion, well affordable ones anyway!
I was thinking the other day, I remember reading years ago that Jackie Stewart would react to the smell of cut grass, knowing someone had gone off. Maybe the smell of gravel, rain, hot rubber from lock ups and brakes smell must be a great immersion, as smell is hardwired to our emotional brain. All of this hypothetical I suppose, but I came across a few VR smell articles while searching it up, Feelreal and OVR. Looks really early days, but I guess it is inevitable.
two questions to you all then,..
1) what smell would you add to those I mentioned above?
2) how would a sim game send the right messages to some kind of device do you think?
