Last but not least: VR Fart

Gamescom, which has been taking place in Cologne since Thursday, is the world's largest trade fair for interactive consumer electronics. The exhibitors' need to stand out from the crowd is correspondingly great. Ubisoft has managed a PR stunt: The game developer claimed to have developed a virtual reality device for the nose for the release of the game "South Park - The Spectacular Trial of Tears." "Nosulus Rift" was said to be capable of realistically recreating the farts that are obviously very central in the game, thus giving the player the ultimate gaming experience. The web was quick to agree: a funny advertising idea, nothing behind it.
 

A mere publicity stunt? Not at all. The "glasses" developed by Buzzman actually exist at the Ubisoft booth. And lets visitors smell the subtle scent of rotten eggs. This is shown, for example, by the report of the enthusiastic Daily Star Journalistswho has tried out Nosulus Rift. One of the many media representatives and game experts who have now tested the PR stunt and found it to be more than genuine enough. However, Ubisoft does not want to go into series production with the device. After all, no one will probably want to try it out more than once. Even if it had a flower meadow in it. (hae)
