Adult entertainment company CamSoda has created a quite ‘disturbing’ product that may enhance your PSVR porn thrills for those inclined to watch porn in 360-degrees via the PS4.

Available to use with a number of virtual-reality headsets, including PlayStation VR, the Ohroma is a sensory mask that you strap-on your face.

Inside the mask you insert cartridges that release a variety of aromas, presumably to get you in the mood for watching VR porn. Smells include breath, panties, body odour, and, erm, private parts.

“"Quite simply, OhRoma takes the virtual reality experience to the next level. It’s unlike anything anyone has ever experienced before, delivering a heightened sensation of pure unadulterated ecstasy, allowing them to completely immerse themselves in the experience," said Daron Lundeen, President, CamSoda in a press release.

The mask costs $69.99 with scent packs available separately, and users can control the smells via an app that connects to the Ohroma via Bluetooth.

Okay, wait a second. Before you turn your nose up and think exactly what we’re thinking –“which dirty swines are going to buy this?” – think about its potential away from porn. What if you could insert other scents that bring videogames to life?

It’s been a serious discussion among developers in the past with digital scent technology evolving from the 1950’s Smell-O-Vision to the recently released Cyrano speaker which unleashes aromas to suit your mood. Mega Man was even once turned into a scent!

But, what videogames would be enhanced by smell?

Here’s some quick-fire ideas that we’ve plucked out of the abyss.

  • Grass, petrol, burning rubber – any racing game
  • Rotting flesh – any zombie game
  • Gun smoke – any shooter
  • Cigar smoke – Metal Gear Solid V
  • Seawater and metal – Bioshock
  • Flowers and vegetables – Stardew Valley
  • Pies and sweaty men – FIFA or Pro Evo
  • Cow shit – Farming Simulator
  • The smell of shame – Senran Kaguya
  • Stale beer and urine – Rock Band 4
  • Whatever Trico should smell like, probably wet dog- The Last Guardian
  • Fire, Motor oil and metal -Titanfall 2
  • Latex, rainfall, and manliness – Arkham Knight
  • Many horrific-smelling things that will haunt your nostrils for years- The Binding of Isaac Rebirth
  • Blood- Bloodborne, duh.
