You step into your metaverse. Surrounded by screens displaying your virtual reality. Wearing your much-loved VR suit. You’re about to travel to a souk market in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Your senses of touch, sound and sight are heightened. Your mouth salivating at the thought of the fresh Moroccan food currently printing…
Then the smell hits you. It smells dusty, hot and busy. With spices drifting on the air from the different street vendors, the cologne of the locals competing with the perfume of the tourists.
Incredibly you’re fully immersed in this adventure, without even leaving your home hundreds of miles away.
Recreating the local smells for those VR experiences proved to be by far the hardest part of the overall VR design and development process.
The best VR smell technicians of the future can best be compared to the World’s largest musicians now.
Consumers will flick through smells in the future the way that we use Spotify to flick through music now.
The skill of the VR smell technician turns an otherwise enjoyable VR travel experience, into the realms of brilliant full sensory immersion. No wonder they are society role models. Incredibly wealthy. Hugely respected and widely loved.
