Olorama Technology incorporates smell into audiovisual and virtual reality experiences

This wireless system promotes the importance of the sense of smell in any audiovisual format to create an immersive and realistic environment in movie theaters, museums, commercial events, among other applications.

Result of more than five years of research and development of Spanish technology, from software design to device manufacturing, Olorama Technology, created by the Valencian engineer Raúl Porcar, creates a complete sensory immersion experience for the viewer, effectively incorporating and combining smell with image and sound.

Each Olorama device is designed to reproduce up to twelve different aromas in a movie theater, event, etc. that last exactly the time necessary to allow correct synchronization between what is happening on the screen and the smell perceived by the viewer (about a minute on average.

The real core of this hardware combination, software and essential oils to synchronize smells with movie scenes realistically and evenly throughout the room, is a program that facilitates the wireless synchronization of aroma diffusers with the different sequences of the movie, as well as manual activation of different odors in real time through a tablet or smartphone.

Cartridges for each device can be changed easily and quickly, and offer around fifty emissions per cartridge. These are natural aromas, environmentally friendly and comply with current regulations, free of allergies and toxic agents, so that the experience is harmless, nice and perfect.

This is what Raúl Porcar points out: “The secret is to use totally natural essences that disappear very quickly.”. “These fragrances are incorporated into a system of dispensers equipped with a fan that regulates the range and intensity of the aroma.”. For this reason, The company includes the WiFi router pre-configured to work with Olorama devices, as well as remote assistance and support in the installation and maintenance of the system.

The integration of Olorama into any audiovisual experience is also very simple, “since we provide the necessary code for Unity and Unreal, and the developer invests less than fifteen minutes in its development”, Porcar emphasizes. Despite its short existence, Different companies and institutions have already acquired several of these devices to experiment with them and put them to the test..
