Technology never fails to blow us away at the rate it develops. It seems like only yesterday that we first got TVs and music players, now everything is HD, flat screen, digital and MP4. A great deal of the newest technology we see enter the market has the intention of pounding our senses into oblivion with more intense images, louder sounds and faster movement. However, there has been a recent creation that intends make things a little quieter, remove all our stresses and even help us heal.
The virtual spa is a online computer program that aims to simulate the experience of being in a health spa. Made by a company in the UK called Heart Media, spa goes use a media headset to get surround sound and wrap around images. You can take a walk around all the facilities that the spa has to offer and even create new areas just for yourself. You can plug your own selection of relaxing music into the game and even book in for a relaxing body polish or massage if you’d like. You can enhance the feeling of having the virtual spa treatments by purchasing a vibration pad that is designed to work with the game.There are constant updates being made to the game all the time and the next activities plan to be sports like bowls and short tennis.
The people who made the game say that their tests showed that resting heart rate could be decreased up to 25% by simply playing the game for more than 20 mins. They hope to aim the product as people who suffer from stress or anxiety or who love spa days but don’t necessarily have the money to pay for them frequently. They hope that once the game takes off they will be able to start sending out actual physical skin care products to gamers so that can complete that spa experience without leaving the house
