早期アクセスにした理由

“Room scale virtual reality is just getting started, and we're trying to push the boundaries beyond gaming. We're utilizing VR to help users practice meditation through direct biofeedback and visual experience, so there are a lot of moving parts that we need to fine tune and adjust.

We'd like to get feedback from our users and develop a strong community of mindful people who are just learning to meditate or have been meditating for a long time. Our users will help us develop the best meditation experience possible.”

このゲームは大体どのくらいの期間早期アクセスですか？

“Until its ready for primetime. Right now, Virtual Reality relaxation and meditation is such a new category, that it might take a few iterations to figure out exactly what the killer app is.

Areas we'd like to explore:

- Telepresence -- Meditating with others.
- Guided Meditations.
- Visualization of other relaxation indicators (like heartbeat).
- Meditation Challenges -- The ability to compete on things like # of deep breaths, amount of time spent in meditation, etc.
- Adding new levels.

After we've explored the above, expect to see this app in General Availability.”
