found this on facebook. It's a helmet that has 3d vr, plus temperature and moisture simulation, as well as a sample of smells

Well shit, if only I could smell...
I'll look at this if it gets funded, once the consumer version comes out, hopefully with a cheaper version that doesn't include that olfactory attachment...
Lastly, I do pray that not many of these VR headsets go with the "using the latest smartphones" route, because their claim of "4 hours battery" means nothing if it isn't powering that smartphone running all of that overhead of gyroscopic and visuals, especially when my Samsung s5 active can't last a day now even with all its bells and whistles turned off. This is a step mostly in the right direction, and I hope to see this kick-starter actually go through.

the helmet is nice, but the mask itself can be used with oculus, as shown in the testimonies video.
