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. 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. There is an optional attachment of a vibrating chair pad that can simulate having different spa treatments. Other activities include going for a swim, having a sauna and even playing croquet.
According to the developers after playing the game for twenty minutes, you could reduce your heart rate by as much as thirty percent. The suggest market for the game are people who cannot afford to take spa days themselves or people who suffer from tension or stress. They hope that once the game takes off they will be able to start sending out actual skin care products to users so that can complete that spa experience without leaving the house
