When you ’re hacking your way through a swelter jungle in practical reality , would n’t you like to feel as revoltingly hot and humid as your video game fictional character ? To reek that classifiable hobo camp scent ? No ? Then you ’d sure as hell better not give $ 250 for the Feelreal this summer .
TheFeelrealis just the in vogue in a farsighted line of machine that attempt to make cinematic experiences more immersive by torturing you just a small bit . RememberSmell - O - Vision ? Or the3rd Space Vest ? Yeah .
In this case , the Feelreal is a liberal , chunky , impenetrable accessory you whip onto the bottom of your virtual reality headset . It can blow blistering melodic line at your cheek . It can blow moth-eaten air at your boldness . Hell , it can blow mist at your face . And yes , it can fill your nostrils with one of up to seven stored scents , ranging from “ Ocean ” to “ Metal ” . It can also sway your fount with a built - in vibrator .
At least the Feelreel ’s lips wo n’t render to swot up anything down your throat . That ’s just the establish - in Bluetooth microphone .

The demo was literally just this video , plus olfactory property / mist / heat / rooter on pool cue
I kid a lot , but I actually kind of enjoyed the experience . There ’s nothing quite like the feeling of a refreshed gentle wind on a spicy daylight , and I get a little chip of that from the Feelreal . But there ’s no way game developers are going to hold this niche Kickstarter gadget , and no way I ’m going to dangle this giant contraption off the front of my skull .
