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.

    Images flash by and disappear. Sounds may resonate a little but are basically gone as soon as you stop making them.

    Smells linger.

    Imagine the cattleyard smell still hanging in the air when the scene has changed to milady’s boudoir, or to the fancy restaurant.
