How Does It Work?
Step 1: Connect the iom2 biofeedback sensor to your ear – this will monitor your Heart Rate Variability and transmit it to your phone, tablet or computer in real-time.
Step 2: Next, select from 50 interactive experiences.
Step 3: Follow the guide and breathing indicator.
Step 4: Watch as your body’s feedback causes your resonance score to increase and the game to progress, teaching you how to meditate more effectively.
Optional: If you happen to have a VR headset, prepare to be transported to a fully immersive world.
Iom2.
The iom2 is a high fidelity, a low-cost biofeedback device that connects to the body by ear clip, capturing real-time data on the body’s physiological state. It’s sleek, easy to use and has been designed to allow for additional biofeedback measures to be easily added in the future.
The iom2 primarily measures Heart Rate Variability (HRV). HRV is a measure of the variation in time between heartbeats and is considered to be a strong indicator of your meditative state. It has been shown through decades of research that a higher HRV correlates with an optimal, relaxed nervous system state, positive emotions, and improved health.
What Does Unyte Do?
Unyte teaches specific breathing, mindfulness and relaxation techniques. These are proven to increase your HRV. Unyte gives you awareness of your nervous system state. This helps you learn to directly influence your HRV.
Unyte displays real-time feedback with an in-game interface. It shows a breathing indicator that guides you to a more optimum breathing rate. Your breathing rate influences your HRV and resonance score, which is clearly displayed in real-time.
Unyte’s resonance score ranges from 1 to 100% and is a direct reflection of the magnitude of your HRV. The higher your HRV, and the more relaxed you are, the higher your resulting resonance score. As your score improves, the game progresses via clear visual and audio prompts that show your body is responding.
