There’s a particular concept in immersion—little things can get in the way. If the voice of the director sneaks in or impediments to movement of the line of sight pop up, your immersion experience is compromised.
Now, when wanting to feel like you’re absolutely positive in that room, doing the nasty with the model, how many of us wish for the smell? Do we want the smell of perfume, of shampoo and other lady products? The essence of her skin, whether it’s enhanced with lotion or moisturizers? More intimate womanly scents? Are there people out there who want to take it to the degree of down-and-dirty fetish?
Introducing the OhRoma
Well, smell-o-vision technology for VR porn now exists. CamSoda recently introduced a gas mask—it absolutely looks like military apparel—called OhRoma, that floods the user’s nostrils with scents. The aromas are physically kept in a small cartridge which is heated when the mask is in use, at that creates the scents.
It’s compatible with HTC Vive, Oculus, and CamSoda masks.
Therefore, you have the mask over the nose and the headset on your eyes, and as you watch the movie of your choice, you get a custom-selected suite of scents to go along with it. Most porn movies leave the kind of perfume the woman is wearing an empty canvas, as well as things as what the room may smell like. So you can choose what you’d like and it seems compatible with what you’re watching, adding an extra layer, not clashing.
Scents a-Plenty
For perfume lovers like me, the scents do include “fragrances,” alongside “body odor,” which we would like to imagine will be getting a new name not long after you read this. Anyway, you also get “Private Parts,” “Environments,” and “Aphrodisiacs,” along with others.
There have been brief inroads to a “scratch and sniff” type of porn, include DVD kits with little scratcher pads that released aromas. It won’t be long before more and more virtual reality porn videos will have explicit prompts having to do with scent. It would appear that CamSoda’s OhRoma could be plugged into these videos, even if the two aren’t produced in partnership. With a wide variety of scents, you could find one to plug into your canisters.
Will the OhRoma Catch On?
Or, is this a little bit too much work? Does it provide the opportunity for clashes in continuity?
Well, we can tell you that Camsoda has some plans along this line. In its “coming soon” category is the OhRoma app, which promises an easier control of scents during porn vids, as well as control over the scents experienced by a user’s partner.
The gas mask is now retailer at $69.99, with scent cartridges at $5.99-$9.99. Now, in some cases, at with Google Daydream, you can get an entire VR headset for less than this, so that’s something to consider.
We’ll see where OhRoma and this whole scent game goes—watch this space.

This sort of thing has potential, but I wonder if it’s just a gimmick or not at this point. I don’t think it synthesis smells so much as just outputs pre-packaged ones.

Camsoda has put some good thought with that custom-scent selections…. Different smells while fucking different babes 😀
