Scentient Tech

Add smell to what you are building

Scentient Tech gives developers, researchers and technical teams the hardware and software to add smell to VR, simulations, installations and other interactive experiences.

You build the experience. We give you the tools to make smell part of it.

If you would rather give us the brief and have us design and build the whole experience, we do that too at Scentient Studio.

The Escents

essence + scent

Our digital scent devices seamlessly integrate into any immersive set-up via Bluetooth.

The scents can be added to 360° films, interactive environments or real-world experiences.

Low-latency scent release and instant switching between fragrances. The scent release is silent and does not interfere with the user experience, while the ergonomic design makes the Escents virtually unnoticeable when worn.

Patented scent pod system with specific scents that recreate the real world or create entirely new worlds. 

Full scent intensity control and individual user calibration based on personal sensitivity.

Scentient smart pods are magnetically inserted into the Escents and automatically detected and recognised by the device.

All 6 pods would last up to 50 hours of use in an experience. The user will be notified when a pod is running low by a continuously flashing a light next to it.

Switching the pods takes seconds and the Escents is ready to take the next user on the scent journey.
