Welcome to the Olorama Blog!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to smell the scents of a film scene? Imagine experiencing odors in films as if you were right there with the characters. Thanks to Olorama Technology, this is no longer a dream, it’s a reality!
The evolution of smell in cinema
The concept of incorporating odors in films is not new. In fact, scent was introduced in cinemas before sound, dating back to the early 20th century. Later, in the 1960s, movies like Polyester and Scent of Mystery attempted to bring scents to the big screen. However, these early technologies had several limitations:
- Low-quality scents that lingered too long
- Expensive and complex installations
- An intrusive experience for viewers
Olorama: Revolutionizing odors in films
In 2013, Valencian engineer Raúl Porcar patented a cutting-edge technology to seamlessly integrate smells into digital video. Unlike previous attempts, Olorama Technology offers a 100% immersive and non-intrusive experience.
This innovative system includes:
- Advanced hardware for scent diffusion
- Smart software that synchronizes smells with film scenes
- A collection of over 100 high-quality fragrances with fast evaporation
The result? A multi-sensory cinematic experience where scents enhance the emotional impact of films, advertisements, presentations, and more.
How do odors in films work?
Olorama’s wireless scent-emitting devices are compact (only 24 cm) and can be placed under cinema seats, on ceilings, or mounted on walls in homes, museums, and theaters. The software records and synchronizes the scents with audiovisual content, ensuring an unforgettable smell-enhanced viewing experience.
Where can odors in films be experienced?
Olorama Technology has already been integrated into famous films such as Maleficent, The Hobbit, Oz, Fantasia, Beauty and the Beast and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Now, imagine watching The Hunger Games and actually smelling the flames of Katniss Everdeen’s dress, or stepping into the world of Ratatouille and being surrounded by the delicious aroma of French cuisine. With Olorama, this is now possible!
The future of smell in entertainment
Beyond cinema, Olorama’s scent technology is transforming:
- Museums & exhibitions: Enhancing historical and art displays
