Today's VR products can even bring you a sense of smell and taste. If you think that the visual immersion can not meet your desire for VR. Why not know more about other devices that give you a full sensory experience?
Now we see a growing number of related peripherals in the market, such as smell virtual landscape, and Vocktails. These peripherals can be completely immersive, deceive the player's senses and allow players to get a real "immersion".
A British pub released a virtual cocktail glass called Vocktails. What makes this cocktail glass special is that it allows the consumer to taste wine while drinking water. The reason is that during the tasting, the Vocktails will spray an alcohol odor on the face of the consumer, and at the same time use the electric pulses installed in the glass to stimulate the taste buds of the consumers, creating a distinctive taste of alcohol. It "blind" consumers' senses from the taste and the smell.
It is reported that the Vocktails were invented by the National University of Singapore. Visually, the Vocktails were designed by using a martini glass, mounting three odor cartridges and micro-pumps on its 3D printed base. This "odor molecule" can change the consumer's perception of taste. At the same time, there are two electrode strips on the edge of the glass which can emit electrical impulses to stimulate the taste buds and simulate different tastes. For example, 180 microamperes can simulate sourness, 40 microamperes are salty and 80 microamps are bitter.
The LED at the bottom of the glass flashes the color that chooses. According to researchers, color can further enhance the perception of taste, such as blue gives a salty feeling, green is sour. In addition, considering that different consumers have different drinking preferences, Vocktails also allows consumers to use mobile phone App to select the type of alcoholic beverages. Consumers can also customize cocktails based on their own preferences.
You must have seen such a scene in an animated cartoon: "When a person smells food in the distance in his sleep, even with his eyes closed, he can accurately find food." Indeed, this contains a certain amount of exaggeration. Yet there is a certain scientific basis. A few days ago, researchers at Northwestern University developed a new scent navigation system called "smell virtual landscape" that first time demonstrated mammalian brains can only judge ambience based on odors.
The olfactory-based odor navigation system helps researchers more fully understand how odors affect the brain's navigation system, and is expected to find out why mammals have aversion to odors. Moreover, the system can also help technology developers integrate odors into current VR technology to provide users with a richer multi-sensory experience.
During the research process, researchers used mice as an example. With the assistance of the prediction algorithm, it uses the airflow system to extract the familiar odor of mice and establishes a virtual room. In the experiment, mice first explored the virtual environment through visual and olfactory cues. After a while, the researchers closed the virtual room and forced the mice to explore in a completely dark room based on their sense of smell. But the mice did not appear abnormal, as before. This shows that mice can use odors to navigate through the spatial mapping mechanism of the brain.
The sound is an integral part of the content of the film and television especially for VR emphasizing "immersiveness". Even with the current 3D Dolby sound, VR content seems to be slightly out of sync. In order to create a panoramic view that perfectly matches VR content, Times Topline has released a professional-grade VR panoramic sound recorder, Twriling 720.
Different from the current expensive audio hardware on the market, and the need to use with clunky multi-track recording, the Twirling720 weighs only 320g, allowing one-key entry of a panoramic sound field, making it very convenient and efficient.
In terms of recording, Twriling 720 can monitor in real-time through built-in high-quality 4 directional microphone units, supporting 360° omnidirectional sound field processing and panoramic sound playback based on the industry standard Ambisonic method. When comes to compatibility, Twriling720 supports Google, YouTube, Facebook and other platforms. Additionally, Twriling720 supports a variety of data format output, up to 24bit/96kHz lossless HD audio format, and can work continuously for more than 6 hours.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the user's post-production, Times Top Spirit also released the software Twirling 720 Studio which is compatible with the recorder. It can perform live 360 video audio preview of the recorded sound field and supports the traditional stereo 5.1/7.1 format output.
Drive a Plane in VR
Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 Flight Rocker is the only PlayStation 4 flight joystick officially recognized by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). This flying joystick can adjust the resistance and the throttle is detachable. There is also a dual rudder system, the built-in switch allows the user to switch between PlayStation 4 and PC options.
If players want to upgrade their experience, they can use the Thrustmaster TFRP rudder. Its exterior design is ergonomic and the stand for feet can be moved to better conform to human characteristics and adjust accordingly so the player can place the entire foot on the rudder. There are also four slides made of industrial-grade aluminum that slide freely and smoothly. The rudder shaft acts as a center point to balance the fluency and resistance.
Put on equipment that armed from the ground up to the feet to devote yourself in VR world. Compared to a single visual impact, the experience more diverse and also more real. Furthermore, such peripherals can also fully magnify the unique advantages of VR, allowing players to thoroughly understand the charm of VR.
