Something excites us and is our motivation to wake up every morning with more energy… How can we offer more sensory experiences?
VR Smell has certainly done a great job here… It is no coincidence that Facebook bought Lukey Palmer’s company (and its Virtual Reality technology) for 2.5 billion dollars… And with Virtual Reality we can enjoy incredible experiences… Flat (or curved) screens had already reached their limits… The improvement in the experience no longer grew linearly, while it is already more than 60″ hard to fit in a living room…!
On the other hand, sound has also become more popular… we can now have more than reasonable sound bars for 200€ in our living room… Surround sound… Subwoofer… A battery of great integrated effects but which, in our opinion, have also reached their ceiling, despite the fact that companies will continue to try, as multinationals are “fixed in their ideas” and turning the view a few degrees (10 or 15, no more is asked!), is very complicated for them…
Therefore, how can we improve…?
The answer lies in the sense of smell… The “great forgotten one” until Olorama Technology appeared… And the Olorama scent technology allows everyone to enjoy sensory VR experiences…
The answer lies in the sense of smell
This sense can take you back to a lot of memories, influence our moods and even affect the way people work by modifying their behaviour. Have you ever associated a smell with childhood memories? Do you remember the smell of your grandmother’s freshly baked muffins or the smell of eraser at school? I’m sure you do. The sensations they provoke are incomparable, making us suddenly return to our childhood. The original linking of a scent to an experience will somehow have a lasting impact on the brain.
smells awaken memories, emotions, and transport us to another place and time.
Virtual reality is here to stay. Virtual reality, known until now in the field of sensory experiences, is taking a great leap forward to become an almost essential tool in fields such as education, tourism, medicine and culture.
Its improvement and trends, which are increasingly innovative, are generating immersive and more realistic illusions among its users. In the field of medicine, virtual reality makes it possible to create a reconstruction of a patient’s interior and superimpose it on his or her body while operating on him or her in real time.
Scent generators
We need professional equipment to be able to incorporate smells into virtual reality. Masks have proven to be ineffective, as they are very intrusive, uncomfortable, and go against the trend of making goggles lighter and more comfortable.
Masks have proven to be ineffective
Olorama has therefore developed independent scent generators with a capacity of up to 10 different smells, which disappear quickly and allow the user to perceive the smells in a natural way:
Available smells
Depending on the project, different types of scents are needed… So we can have nature scents, food scents, scents for action scenes, or creative scents like beach, leather, paint or even hemp smoke!.
At Olorama we have a unique synthesising system that allows us to extract odours from the gases produced during combustion. In this way we can offer the smell of gunpowder, burnt wheel or burnt fuel…

Real testimonials
Here you can see a real project for 4 simultaneous Virtual Reality users (a scent generator is effective from 1 to 4 simultaneous users). At the end you can listen to the testimonials of a real user:
