At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Sony has been demonstrating a new Future Immersive Entertainment Concept that aims to give participants a new interactive experience.
Though only at a conceptual level at this stage, a live demo allowed attendees to step into the world of The Last of Us and see it from a different perspective.
The experience essentially comprises a box room where every surface is a high-resolution crystal LED display, surrounding you on all sides by the game world.
This, combined with immersive audio, haptic feedback, atmospherics, and «scent» aims to place you within an interactive environment more deeply than before.
Yes, this means you'd be able to smell whatever game you're playing. In a gameplay sequence seemingly made just for this proof of concept, participants are given a gun controller and aim and shoot at impending threats like Clickers.
