Microsoft made an Xbox One controller that emits odors Smell-O-Vision style

When designing the Xbox One controller, Microsoft was going for a device that hardcore gamers would love, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t get a bit wacky with its early designs for the peripheral.

Xbox general manager for accessories Zulfi Alam told GamesBeat that Microsoft experimented with a few different gimmicks in a multipart interview regarding the new controller that we’re running all this week (read part 1). One of the most interesting was a Smell-O-Vision-style technology that would emit different odors.
