The company is offering up a product by the same name that utilizes the same kind of tech around aromatherapy to do timed releases of scents that are tied to your gaming experience. Using AI and audio cues, such as being in the middle of a gun battle, the device will release a scent to match what you're experiencing, such as the smell of gunpowder. Or "clean air" when you're out in the wilderness. The device was developed by a team who have a mix of consumer electronics, health and wellness, and gaming backgrounds, all of which they put to use in making the device.

The real question is: Do gamers want to smell the game they're playing? The team will have a booth on display at PAX East 2024 for those who want to experience it, or you can get it right now through Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and their own website.
