Hypnos VR

Hypnos VR, also known as Hypnos Virtual, builds biophilic aromatic media systems. These use a programmable stream of natural scents that is timed with sound and video, so that media is felt as well as seen.

The company calls this bio-media: a mist of plant-based aromas that reaches the nose and links with the brain.
