Zusammenfassung:	An olfactory simulation system is adapted to attach to a virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) headset to disperse selected scent(s) to the user. The system utilizes a wireless microcontroller to rotate one of a cartridge housing and a base with respect to the other, making one of a plurality of available chambers carried by cartridge housing accessible, while keeping the other chambers carried by the cartridge housing substantially sealed from ambient air. A cartridge carried within the chamber carries a scented material. A fan arranged near the cartridge housing diffuses the selected scent near, but spaced apart from, the user's nose at varying intervals, based on a desired strength.
