What’s stopping us from making smellulators, for games or movies?

Vietnamwar videogame: smell of napalm in the morning.

The sims: baby pooped.

Survival game: that lump of flesh is rotting.

Smell you later

    I saw a theatrical performace in 1997, called The Peplum by theatre company Royal de Luxe.

    It included ‘odorama’, a contraption that looked like a TV studio camera on dolly rails across the front of the stage, that sprayed the audience stands with about 6 different smells throughout the performance.

    One of the smells was horse manure, which was a nervous shock for the audience. Yes it smelt like horse poo.

    A very memorable performance, because of the smells, but also the exceptional company behind it.
