The device Is compatible with PCs, consoles and virtual reality headsets. Connects via HDMI or 3.5mm audio jack. The set includes 6 cartridges with scents: shot, explosion, racing, storm, forest and clean air.

According to the manufacturer, Smell-O-Vision (“vision through smells”) technology was introduced in the 1950s, but has not yet become widespread. Until now, this technology has only been used in a few American movie theaters, where it adds smells to the action on screen.
