OVR Technology visits RIT

OVR Technology will be visiting RIT January 28-30 to playtest their Omara device, which is the world’s first compact digital scent display for gaming as well as help RIT kick off the annual Global Game Jam event that begins at 6:00PM on January 30. 

OVR's goal is to advance human-centered technology by harnessing the power of scent in digital experiences - unlocking deeper emotional, educational, and immersive experiences for everyone. OVR Technology is interested in meeting with RIT faculty who might be interested in collaborating with them. And of course, they would love for students to playtest their device at one of these times:

  • Wednesday, January, 28 4:00-7:00PM (pizza will be provided, first come first served)
  • Thursday, January 29, Noon-2:00PM
  • Friday, January 20, 10:00AM-Noon

Location: MAGIC Spell Studios Atrium
