I was literally shocked by reading this thread title. After clicking I see that it is about VR, but I interpreted it as something equivalent to digital eyes for people that have lost their sense of smell.


It's not like it's that big of a deal to be able to smell things, but I just never thought about the fact that with advancing technology that could be a thing of the past. I've spent a lot of time thinking about technology helping blind and deaf people so hmm.


Anyway...


Sorry!  Fixed the thread title.  

Who cares about smells? I do not want to be playing a game and smelling things. Sure it could be kinda cool for virtual tourism type applications, but almost every game would have unwanted smells.
Yeah...  
I am not ready for it.  

Although some day it might be really cool.  Being able to smell virtual cut grass and flowers would be well worth bad smells.  

I wonder if some devs would avoid bad smells intentionally though.
