The sights and scents of the Sensorama Simulator | Engadget

Welcome to Time Machines, where we offer up a selection of mechanical oddities, milestone gadgets and unique inventions to test out your tech-history skills.

Not exactly a film jukebox, but not too far off either. Sensorama was an  immersive film experience machine invented by Morton Heilig in the late 1950s/early 1960s. It showed the user 3-D stereo-sound films, while exposing them to motion and vibration effects (via the seat), wind effects, and aromas. At least one prototype machine was made in 1962, but it was never commercialized.
