3 Things You May Want to Know:
Will the smells linger in my room and mix together?
No. The device uses precision fans designed to rapidly push the scent to your nose and dissipate it almost immediately (within 1-2 seconds). This prevents lingering odors and scent confusion as game scenes change.
Do game developers need to code support for this device?
No. The Scentbar's software uses artificial intelligence to visually analyze your monitor in real-time, recognizing objects like fire, forests, or asphalt to automatically trigger the appropriate scent without requiring native game integration.
Does it work with my PlayStation or Xbox in the living room?
Currently, no. The system relies on its dedicated PC software to analyze the screen. While the company plans to expand to consoles and TVs in the future, it is strictly a PC-focused accessory at launch.
