I got my hands on MPEG-V standard documents which lets me inject “SEM” (sensory effect metadata) inside .mp4 files which would let me program real world stuff on cues like lights, chair movements, water sprays, etc. So literally if I had a NAS with a hoard of movies and bought the right equipment, i could make 4DX at home.
There’s an effect description named “scent”, which would, obviously, spray some aromatizer or something in the room. I checked out the standard list of scents that can be applied. There are scents like rose, lavender, mint, apples, mixed herbs, but i came across an interesting one which is the one i’m asking for.
Scent of dragons breath
Describes the scent of dragons breath
Maybe this is a weird reason to ask this… I really want to know out of curiosity if this “dragon breath” would be some specific mix of herbs or incense or any kind of room spray. I sense it would kind of be an artificial scent… but idk… really… Would it really work if i coded a “Home 4DX” version of the Hobbit movies?
Sulphur is what comes to mind.
This is the real answer. Sulfur Dioxide would basically eliminate any other odors. I’m thinking ozone would be a possible addition, along with whatever that metallic smell is, but nothing biological, no rot, etc.
That’s more like demons, though.
Nice. Even considering that “sulphur” is not an entry on the scent list i got. I guess that could work out
