Olfactory Epithelium

The Olfactory Epithelium component gets added to the HMD observant game-object in your scene hierarchy.

View of Olfactory Epithelium in inspector.

Ovr Device Hostname: TBD

Odorant Log is used to display odorant messages sent from the OVR Unity Framework to the device.‌ The Odorant Log is should already be connected to the component. It lives at: Packages/OVR Framework/Runtime/Source/Prefabs

Offset will translate the position used for odorant detection relative to the HMD. This may need to be adjusted for different HMDs given their origin may differ (default value works well with HTC VIVE).

Notes: The Olfactory currently handles connecting to the device and only does so when your scene initially loads. The OVR Daemon is currently in development and will handle run-time device connectivity.
