An introduction to this device was posted three weeks ago on YouTube. In it, a person is using this Feelreal mask to play Skyrim VR.

This is sometimes strange, if you play a zombie fighting game, how will their smell through Feelreal?
Actually, there was a questioner on this issue on Reddit. The company's official account replied that they had reviewed and studied the issue. They have also carefully researched the odors that can cause players to vomit, which many people often suffer when playing VR. However, the company tried to regulate and produce the smell that brought the most genuine discomfort of corpses, blood, gunpowder or mold, but did not make people nausea.
