Relaxation in the Wellsphere
People who work a lot often feel stressed and mentally drained, which can lead to mental illness eventually. Sick days due to mental stress in companies have increased dramatically lately. One way to maintain mental health is through preventive measures, such as specific exercises that can be done at the workplace or home office.
Together with the Fürstenberg Institute and BARMER, Telekom has developed a metaverse solution where users can do various relaxation exercises on a virtual palm island using a VR headset. After a test phase with Telekom employees, DIGITAL X visitors can move around on the metaverse relaxation island for the first time. In the future, other companies can use the Wellsphere for their employees.
On the tropical island, users can choose between different relaxation exercises. A sound journey through water droplet or aluminum foil sounds, or drum and guitar sounds, triggers pleasant, relaxing sensations on the skin while listening. Such sound journeys have already become an absolute trend on YouTube. Users can also go on a relaxation journey or try out various breathing techniques. Those who need quick help can also request coaching directly on the island, which is provided by Fürstenberg Institute staff.
Drone Soccer, Judy, and XR Sports
In addition to the Wellsphere, DIGITAL X offers a whole range of innovative solutions revolving around AR/VR/XR, the metaverse, and artificial intelligence. Here's a small selection of highlights.
Football with Drones
Drone Soccer is a trendy sport and exciting team sport that playfully trains skills in STEM fields. At DIGITAL X, six students representing Germany at the “Drone Soccer World Cup” in South Korea will compete in the Soccer Arena.
