The Next New
A great addition to new media would be the ability to allows device users to be
able to “smell” what they are watching. Up until now, we are able to experience
a video through two of our senses which are sight and sound. However, I believe
that it would be very interesting if we can incorporate a way for content
creators and manufacturers to be able to add a feature that allows users to smell
what they are watching. This does not have to be readily available on every
single device but like VR headsets, it can be an attachment that users are able to
purchase and use. This can come in very handy if there is say a cooking show and
the chef wants his/her audiences to smell his cooking behind their screens. This
can very well lead to a new dimension of marketing and content
sharing/creating.
If we could develop the technology to smell something remotely that would be insane. It would open up so many possibilities for virtual and augmented reality. Like more immersive video games, cooking shows in your own house. It would be so cool!
