Kit for device developers that adds an element of "smell" to VR content on Unipos website VAQSO VR (DEV KIT) Page has been added.

VAQSO VR (DEV KIT) Is a device that emits a "smell" according to the content of VR content when attached to a VR HMD such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR. By linking the VR content with the sense of smell, a more immersive VR experience is possible.

By using the API (Unity) provided by the developer VAQSO, it is possible to incorporate actions such as switching odors and turning off odors in a moment in your own VR content.
