FOR INSTANT ESCAPE

Imagine if you could step away from your stresses and straight onto a paradise island and feel the warm sun on your skin. Well, exactly this is possible if you step into a Sensiks VR pod, as seen in Selfridges earlier this year. The Dutch med-tech company Sensiks designed the pods to encourage a ‘brain-switch’ from a state of passive observation to one of active participation, making it a ‘hyper-realistic experience’. Hopefully with hyper-realistic effects. Sensiks pod, from £3,000; Sensiks headset, from £299, selfridges.com
