Is it possible to make a computer component that emulates smells and/or taste?
I'd love to watch porn/play games and be able to smell and taste the action.

For smell, there was the Nosulus Rift, they used it as promotion for the south park game, if I remember correctly.

no, scents have much higher dimensionality than colors so it's not possible
There have been some attempts, doing things like releasing samples of scents from little nozzles, which mix to make something believably close to the smell being reproduced. The biggest problem is demand. Advertisers love the idea of filling your living room with an aroma that might make you crave their product more. Apart from that, not many people want to smell lockerroom smells when they watch football or smell trash as they walk past a dumpster in a game.
But on the flip side,
>gunpowder smell after a frenzied shootout
>oil and gas smells in the ship's engine room
>the scent of a rainforest while you're creeping through it
>smelling the monster while it's nearby
No need to add the dumpster smell if it doesn't make the game more enjoyable.
But muh immersion!
The smell of death when you get near a feminist.
imagine if people invented computer smell viruses
BRAAAAAAAAP

BRAP

"Hey guys save this picture of an ass, change the file extension to .brap and run it"
Smell and taste come from the chemical structure. Nothing stops you from strapping a canister with gas to your VR headset and program the game to release it at certain points. The biggest problem is probably that no one wants to refill their smell cartridge once a week.
I’m waiting for a time when your nerves would be hooked up to a pc. No need for autistic headsets or smellovision nonsense. Stuff like in ready player one.
Sounds 100% safe. Can't imagine any malicious outcomes from such a setup.
there were going to implement it in theaters

i said that about computers in 1954.
>watching porn
>put on Apple Scent with retina odor and force smell
>Oculus Rift for enhanced VR
>Realize pornstars have lots of mileage
>The smell is unbearable
>Guy cums all over some pornstar's face
>You end up smelling some dude's cum
>You end up smelling some chicks butthole
>You play Skyrim, and someone mods the dragons to fart
>You now are living in the 22nd century.
>Still no option to just feel whats going on.
>t. grandpa
My father worked for Digiscents before it went tits up, ask anything you like.
(yes it actually did work, the alpha version was
fun to fuck with)
And look where we are now.
Computers have really fucked things up.
Yes, but why?

In Japan back in like the 00s they made a phone that had 3 scents in it and it would mix them up in various quantities in attempt to make different smells n shit.
I don't remember how accurate it was. Clearly it failed
