Inner Active Game

I saw an article about this game in the Union-Tribune and then went to the website, The Wild Divine Project , for more information. The game uses bio-feedback monitors to teach you to self-regulate your body. The monitors fit over three fingers on your left hand and measure heartrate and perspiration. In order to progress through the game, you have to learn the meditative skills to calm yourself or boost your energy level as the situation dictates. The scenes you move through are very rich and have been compared to those in games like Myst. The game is supposed to become available in November. I found the whole idea very interesting and the learning situation one I would never have associated with computer games.
