It's time to wake up and smell the next frontier in virtual entertainment:

CamSoda's OhRoma features two canisters that attach to the front of the device. Each canister includes three slots for scent cartridges that you can swap out to customize the experience. CamSoda said it developed over 30 different aroma canisters, which include "sensual" scents that simulate the smell of body odor, pleasing environments, and stimulating aphrodisiacs.

The company also developed a mobile app that interfaces with the OhRoma mask and lets you select what you would like to smell during the experience. OhRoma can also sync with another immersive product that CamSoda launched last year called Teledildonics, which replicates the sensations of sex. Teledildonics allow people to have "sex" over the internet with another partner. And with OhRoma added to the mix, CamSoda offers a completely virtual experience that stimulates four of your five senses.

Unlike Ubisoft's Nosulus, CamSoda's version of Smell-O-Vision is not a joke. You can order CamSoda's OhRoma device today. The face mask alone will set you back $70, and you can purchase individual scent packs for as low as $6. CamSoda also offers a combo pack, which includes an OhRoma mask and a complete set of all 30 scents, for $99.

Here's the Nosulus Rift from last year.

    There must be a fart-joke in here somewhere.

    Why do we need to bring the smell in the virtual room, and pay dearly for it, when we can access it by simply going for a walk in nature? What happened to KISS?

    well.. because fat,lazy lock in, socially inept fucks never go out and haven't a fucking clue what basic human contact is and thus this is the only way they'll get some actions or know what those aromas are.

      Maybe some people have different interests than you? Ever heard of introverts? You could easily make similar claims about anyone. Oh, you don't engage in Activity X? Then you're a fat, lazy, ridiculous person, even if you have no desire whatsoever to engage in the activity! You'd better like what I like, or you're a bad, bad person!

        Well, even as an introvert, you can still walk outside without human company.

        It is true that introverts prefer protective and familiar surroundings, but that does not mean they are always sitting in a windowless dark basement in front of a computer (to pick a computer-nerd stereotype).

          Well, even actual shut-ins can simply have different interests than other people. I don't see the issue.

          yeah, but you can't necessarily walk outside in the forest or the mountains if you live in , for example, downtown NY

          (and besides if you read the article this was developped by a porn company as a complement to their teledildonics product)
