Visit A Spa Over The Net

September 4th, 2009

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. The majority of technological advancement is aimed at speeding up our lives, and in the entertainment domain it’s all about making things bigger, brighter, louder and more stimulating. This said, there is one new technology that aims to slow things down, chill us out, and make us feel better.

The virtual spa is a online computer program that aims to simulate the experience of being at 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. Your time in the can be spent checking out all the rooms, gardens and facilities, or making some new ones if you like. You can plug your own selection of relaxing music into the game and even book in for a luxurious body polish and massage if you’d like. The game also comes with a vibration pad that attaches to your chair and simulates the feeling of having various different treatments. Other activities include going for a swim, having a sauna and even playing croquet.

The developers claim that using the virtual spa game for 30 minutes will bring down your resting heart rate by up to 20%. 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 real skin care products to gamers so that can complete that spa experience without leaving the house
