FOR RELAXATION ON TAP

Styled like a pair of rather chic, fabric-wrapped ski goggles, the Lightvision headset claims to translate nature videos (say, fish swimming) into biomorphic LED patterns that are visible through closed eyes. These, along with vibrations and high-tech sounds, activate the brain’s ‘frequency-following’ response, ie, its ability to relax and de-stress, and – bam! – you’re (hopefully) in a deep, meditative state minus the hard work. This collaboration between design agency Layer and American start-up Resonate launched at Design Miami 2022 is expected to retail imminently.
