Our very own Jesse Stein, OVR Technology’s VP of Marketing, provided Erikka Innes with a product demo. 

Here's a bit of what Erikka has to say:

"The ION is a lightweight, wireless device that precisely emits scent particles to the user in coordination with virtual reality technology designed to deepen the immersive experience.

During the demo, a ghostly virtual reality lawnmower drove by and the grass cuttings that appeared to hit my face smelled of fresh grass.

A great thing about OVR Technology’s smell-o-vision is how it is personalized to your own actions. When you move the controls using the Oculus, it can sense how close or far away you are, and sends that information to the OVR device to control when to release a scent.
