I've had the pleasure of using plenty of grenades and rockets. Going into a room that a grenade just went off in does NOT smell like axe and weed. It stings your nose with more of a very thick black smoke, toxic like smell. Similar to the smell of a rifle chamber right after firing, but still different. A smell I have never had anything similar enough to even describe it well.

@leeroyjenkins0
5 күн бұрын
@@elbeetlebeastoguns have no used black powder since a couple centuries ago, and black powder is not explosive (it burns quickly but doesn't explode) so it would not be used in a grenade. Modern explosives and propellant ("smokeless") powder don't really use sulfur in any meaningful capacity, except to maybe slow down burning. Usually they all just use nitrogen oxygen and carbon as nitrogen bonds can hold a lot of energy. So there's really no one element that contributes to the smell as they're all odorless, it's just the shapes they take that five off odd smells.

The problem with smell is that it isn't really additive, so there can never be a device like a screen or a speaker which can replicate any arbitrary scent. It's like if our only way of replicating music still was playing it live on each instrument according to musical notation. And then you give dubstep growls encoded in some absolutely cursed notation to classical musicians and they just look at you in confusion...
Here are the 6 scents. Total missed 'I see dead people' joke.
Could, kinda, work with movies, with a script that tells it what to spurt out at certain times. Like, closed captions. [smell of gunpowder] I don't dislike the idea. I was playing Oblivion, long time ago, it was raining in-game, wind howling, rain, happened to have an oscillating fan on. Got a jolt of, wow, that really immersed me. Just, needs less AI thinking what we want to smell, more, devs thinking there should be storm smell here.

Even if the smells trigger at the right times... they won't disappear at the right time, so this kind of stuff will always be a mess.
Smell is absolutely something that could take the immersion of games and movies to a whole new level, but the side effect of filling my room with smelly perfumes is definitely a deal breaker, regardless of whether the product works well or not. I am not a fan of my bed sheets smelling like zombies or my face reeking of swamp. Just because I'd like to immerse myself in the entertainment doesn't mean I want my room, my furniture and the clothes I'm wearing to reek of what I just played. And I can't even begin to imagine how allergenic some of those perfumes might be.

I think the reason it's so delayed is because it's querying an AI model remotely and awaiting a response before it triggers the smell. Probably why they don't process video as well, because then it would take even longer to upload video of your game to some server somewhere and wait for an AI model to report back with probably the wrong answer. Overall, just kind of a bad way to do it. It *does* technically make it compatible with any game (or anything that produces sound, would be especially wild with music I imagine) but it does so at the cost of having a massive delay between something happening on screen and a smell being produced. The ideal solution would be a local model, but that seems a bit beyond the scope of the Gamer Smell Box 5000.
Every time I see a Game Scent kind of product i think of that one part in Shadow of the Tomb Raider where Lara crawls on top of soupy dead bodies through a small tunnel.

"Car driving and drifting" 😂😂😂 that was a wreck lmao
its a cool idea, but you would need a few things to make this work: 1. direct access to the nose, so random things don't linger 2. far more scents. things like "storm" is way too broad 3. more accurate scents 4. visual aid. as, sounds can only get so far 5. low latency. the delay shown here is just too long for something like a shooter or racing game 6. doesn't give you a headache
Now we need floatplane/ltt member exclusive where Elijah watches his own video with this thing on to see if it triggers something.
Many many years ago I wrote a lengthy letter to PC Gamer magazine about how smells could greatly improve our immersion but in that letter (I was 16 at the time) I said that you'd need about 20 basic smells to MIX together to achieve the right affect. Oil, burning wood, burning rubber, grass, flowers, trees, gun powder, sewage, rust, damp wood, rain, damp dirt, pond water, river water, sea, etc. etc. Basically stuff you'd encounter in a LOT of games. And this set? It lacks the really basic smells of water (which has a powerful smell in nature) which you encounter all the time in nature & would be easy to pick up with audio but in my letter I said that the game itself would need to support the system because you'd want it to be scripted. Shooting at trees = smell of trees + gun powder. A burnout in a game = oil + burning rubber. Until they can do this, all these smell systems will be pointless and a gimmick.
ELIJAH!!! I'm excited to see him as a host of videos across LMG's network of channels, he seems happier than the other hosts and isn't monotone like Plouffe

People's main gripe with AI seems to be that it's used in ways that don't solve any problems. In this case, however, I don't see a way this product could've reasonably worked without AI.
