Some very amazing, smart people at the University of California in San Diego have collaborated with Samsung to make Smell-O-Vision happen in real life! Of course, this has happened in theaters already, for special screenings of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, for example. However, can you imagine your own home television outpouring scents to go along with your programs? And can these smells be DVR'd? Something new Time Warner can charge us for!

How Much Do You Think Time Warner Would Charge For Smell-O-Vision?
Go 4-D at the NY Aquarium
Is an aquarium the best place to revive Smell-O-Vision? Either way, it looks like Wonka will meet the water soon—the New York Aquarium is ready to give their visitors a 4-D experience, allowing them "to taste the salty sea water and surf." Planet Earth: Shallow Seas 4:D Experience is the latest attraction to come to the Coney Island establishment and will be in full effect starting March 21st. The 4-D Immersion Theater includes sensory affects like water mist, a neck air blast, leg ticklers and seat vibrations. All that's missing is a manatee lap dance! Tickets will range from $9 to $13, and feeling as though you are "gliding alongside a cast of balletic sea lions as they dive through vast swirling bait balls of anchovy" sounds like a nice way to help bail out the aquarium, no?
