Can you imagine watching your favorite cooking show and being able to smell the aromas? 😍

Well, a new bit of technology could make this possible - the Escents!

Power couple Anastasia and Ivan are the inventors behind the London-based startup Scentient, that is making immersive experiences more memorable and realistic. Their device 'Escents' uses a central tracking system to release smells, enhancing virtual and real life experiences. It can be used with a VR headset, smartphone or in actual reality and releases up to six different scents in one session.

Although the entertainment industry is in their sights, the couple have focused their attention on a more practical industry first: the emergency services. Their device can be used for training of the police force, firefighters and many more, improving the quality of training across the country.

Our team put this innovative new device to the test...
