Why Early Access?

“Our development approach is a user-centric design process, and we want your voice to help shape where we go from here and what features we prioritize first! We’re excited to share with you upcoming announcements on release dates and details regarding new lessons, meditation environments, modes and features! As we share details and release the first versions of these updates, we’ll be acting on your feedback on our socials and Discord (https://bit.ly/2ZtRp19)

As your meditation practice grows, we'll be growing alongside you as we evolve not just the Virtual Reality Meditation Learning System but the virtual world around you into a Zen retreat you can come to anytime.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“18 - 24 months”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The scope of ZenVR currently provides lessons taught by a virtual instructor and an additional mode for building-your-own sessions for review and continuing practice. This is all located within an environment that offers very light exploration.

Our vision for ZenVR is much more than just growing the curriculum: additional modes for growing one's meditation practice and also for interacting and exploring the world as we develop our initial environment into a "Zen metaverse" people can retreat to. We also want to provide users with the settings, features, and accessibility options that will improve the experience to their liking.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“LEARN is designed to bring that classroom experience right to your home. Lessons 1-8 are already available with account management and multiplayer features arriving TBD in 2024. PRACTICE mode allows you to build personalized sessions designed to supplement Kai's curriculum and help you grow your meditation practice over time. The ZenVR island campus offers a vision for future content updates and spatial interactions.

Unlike existing meditation phone apps, we train you Meditation Beyond Relaxation and focus on education, depth, and growth. We utilize the fully immersive qualities of Virtual Reality to bring dynamic experiences to the classroom and remove the distractions of the outside world while fitting into your everyday life.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Please send us feedback anytime on our socials and Discord https://bit.ly/2ZtRp19. It's always appreciated! We'll give an occasional reminder in-game on the main menu as well as feedback surveys in-game.

We will be on the lookout for passionate users to provide more thorough QA testing and feedback including early access to builds before we release an update.”
