OVR Technology Opens Reservations for Omara Core 10, a $179 Desktop Scent Display for PC Gaming
Ten-cartridge personal scent display brings real-time scent to supported PC games and mods; $20 reservations open now, with shipping expected in 2027
BURLINGTON, VT, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OVR Technology, a digital scent company, introduced the Omara Core 10, a desktop personal scent display built for PC gaming. Omara Core 10 releases scent toward the player at precise moments in supported games and mods, including scent-enabled mods for Minecraft and Stardew Valley, then clears it so the next scent can follow without lag or unintended mixing. The complete bundle is priced at $179. Reservations are open now at ovrtechnology.com for $20, applied to the purchase price.
Scent is the sense most closely tied to memory and emotion, yet it has been absent from gaming while visuals and audio have advanced to 4K and surround sound. Unlike a diffuser, which fills a room, Omara Core 10 sits on the desk and directs small amounts of scent toward the player. When a moment in a supported game calls for a scent, such as stepping into a pine forest, Core releases it; when the moment passes, it clears.
“Scent is part of our world every day, and it should be part of our digital experiences,” said Sam Wisniewski, Co-Founder of OVR Technology. “We have always believed that multisensory experiences are the future, and we want to build the technology that lets people have them. Omara Core was built from the feedback we received from our community, so that people can access the world of scent across their gaming experiences.”
Key Features
Ten individually replaceable scents. Each scent lives in its own hot-swappable cartridge, so players replace only the scents they use most or customize the set to their preferences.
Mixes up to three scents at once. A campfire by the ocean can smell like both.
Directed at the player. An adjustable throw range reaches up to 24 inches, with approximately one foot of vertical coverage at two feet. In OVR testing, no noticeable residual scent was detected at approximately two feet when the device was not firing.
Fast timing. Approximately one second to perception and one second to clear, in burst or continuous modes.
Built into the game. Developers author scent directly inside supported games and mods using OVR’s plugins.
