The Benefits of Smell in Virtual Reality


Listen Later

Virtual reality glasses and audio have created worlds both real and imagined for a wearer to explore. Another sense—smell—is the new frontier, and the benefits for individuals with PTSD, and others in specialized jobs, can be substantial. OVR Technology worked with Protolabs to create parts that led to their ION device, which presents users with smells that trigger memories that can lead to therapeutic benefits. Guest: Erik Cooper, head of design and co-founder at OVR Technology.
