We Make Firefighter Training Engaging & Scalable

🚀 The Future of Scent in VR: Scent Teleportation! Imagine stepping into a VR world and not only seeing and hearing it—but actually smelling it. Thanks to Osmo, “scent teleportation” is now a reality, bringing us one step closer to full sensory immersion. This breakthrough lets us capture and recreate scents as data, opening incredible possibilities for VR simulations. Imagine firefighter VR training where you can actually smell smoke, allowing trainees to recognize danger faster and understand environmental cues in real-world scenarios. Or, using scent in public education, people could identify scents tied to certain hazards before ever encountering them in real life. While scent and touch still have room to evolve, this is an exciting step toward full sensory VR. With scent now covered, taste is the only sense left to conquer! #VRInnovation #ScentTechnology #ImmersiveTech #FutureOfVR

We used AI to digitize and rematerialize the essence of a plum. What we've done is we've cut a plum here and we're going to put it into a vial where the scent that's leaving the plum is being trapped inside of this file. And then what we can do is take this file to a machine which can suck the air outside of this file, which contains the smell of the plum, and then analyze those molecules 1 by 1. And when we have that, we can then take that formula and then we print it. If we've done the whole process correctly, the thing that ends up reprinted, which is just going to look like a clear liquid, is the distilled essence of the scent of a plum you've just cut into. And if they smell the same, it means that we've actually given computers and new sense. And the sense of smell is effectively the way that we turn the air around us into data. Like the?

Darn, that's pretty crazy! It's very exciting to think about how realistic training can become on the future. I was impressed with Flaim's use of a real fire extinguisher during a demo at my last place...

Firefighters have been asking for this! Can’t wait to bring this to all of XpertVR’s simulations.
