UK Startup Scentient Is Making It Possible](https://xrdailynews.com/scentient-is-making-smell-in-vr-possible/): Smell in VR is still severely lacking, and at UnitedXR, I met a company working to fix it.

Smelling various scents is undeniably crucial in our lives, even if we don’t think about it every day.

Integrating virtual reality in schools has historically been challenging. Even today, it’s not a simple task, though it’s more manageable and worthwhile than just a few years ago. To give some context: the VR hardware & software schools typically use today are outdated by current standards and usually require an expensive subscription. However, VR didn’t first appear […]
