This is a virtual reality aroma enhancement unit that was released to promote a game called The Fractured But Whole. In the game the characters use the power of flatulence in combat and this unit responds accordingly by forcefully emitting the aroma of a fart directly in your face.
I'm guessing that this was purely intended for fun promotional purposes, because I'm not sure anyone could actually handle having a fart fired up their nose every time they used that power in the game.
The unit is robust and stylish, but also carries the hallmark of being a prototype, with a lot of manual assembly associated with a short production run. Further investigation reveals that it was designed by the Hackerloop technical collective (they did a great job) and there are hints that the circuitry may be based on a custom form-fitted Arduino system. The processor is an Atmel ATSAMD21E18A-F. I get the feeling that the designers may have regretted their choice of connector. When the glue was removed the wires were prone to popping out of them.

The aroma cartridges may have been based on a custom aroma absorbed into polymer pearls, but none were present when I opened it, although the aroma was definitely there. (you may have noticed) Having sniffed the cartridge that had low residual aroma first, I was a bit overconfident in sniffing the other one that seemed to have around 100 farts left in it that occurred simultaneously when I sniffed it.
I'd like to thank the Ashens channel for this worthy contribution for our technical enlightenment. You can find the Ashens channel here:-

By the time I'd finished this teardown, my fingers, tools and absolutely everything in the vicinity smelled of fart. And they still do.

Don’t stick your nose up someone’s arse after a vindaloo
When you got a whiff of the second side and starting retching I nearly fell off my chair laughing!! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh man this is one of the best ones Clive, ☺️, I could just envision someone smelling that and just oh yeah, 😆, I'm pausing the video right now to comment because it was just yeah I want that to be my reaction that was so funny keep up the good work
Oh dear! 🙂
Tread carefully. You start out sniffing the Nosulus Rift device, and before you know it, you're huffing Jenkem.
OMG I’m crying 😂😂😂
this thing is a real life south park gag
Haha, I almost pissed myself laughing. 😂😂😂
Somebody had to do this. Thank you.
Hey, this shit is still funny today as it was in 2017, i randomly remembered bigclive giving a good ol whiff of the fart cart and seeing stars and just had to come back for a rewatch!
It was a fun game!
If you see an Atmel chip, just assume that it's a microcontroller…
Clive, I suggest talking to an organic chemist about sniffing techniques. I learned about sniffing safety 55 years or so ago.
"It's a strap-on", he says, without the slightest hint of shame or regret. 😁
I think that scored 101 out of 10 on the vomit inducing aroma scale
😂😂🤣🤣I larfed so much when you started to chuck up, I had to pause the video cos I couldn't hear what you were saying an me were watering, that was sooooo fuckin funny, brilliant 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I guess that's different…
