OVR Technology visits RIT

 

OVR is unlocking the power of scent for Global Game Jam at RIT!

This year we are bringing an additional sense to your game design: SCENT! The Omara Scent Display, powered by OVR Technology, will be available for use at our Global Game Jam event this year. OVR’s plug-ins for Unreal and Unity will also be available to all Jammers during the event.

The OVR Team will be live on-site at MAGIC Spell Studios to provide game demos, answer your questions, and help you create an awesome scented game experience. 

Here is the schedule of events so far:
