​The metaverse smells (scents are a thing now).

What are we describing here?

"A dystopian future, where the metaverse is fully immersive, and owned by a single company that controls a digital currency worth more than the US dollar."

If you answered: 'A recurring wet dream, had by Mark Zuckerberg for the past decade.'

You may be right (we can neither confirm, nor deny).

What we know for sure is: it's also the plot of Ready Player One.

It's a concept that feels far out, in the present day...but OVR Technology just took us one step closer to it.

(The 'fully immersive' part at least - the 'dystopian future' and 'control of a globally accepted digital currency' is being sold separately, for now).

​OVR Technology debuted new VR technology at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

The new addition? Smell (or, 'virtual stank,' if you will).

The OVR headset has a container for eight aromas that can be mixed together, to create various scents. Including, but not limited to:

• A bed of Roses.

• Marshmallows roasting.

• And the fire they're roasting over.

You thought your significant other was underwhelmed by your 'romantic camping trip' irl?

Wait till they try this!
