This unique entertainment software from music publisher and first-time game developer The Wild Divine Project is played using special biofeedback hardware. Designed to provide an experience that goes beyond traditional mouse-and-keyboard reaction and interaction, gameplay in The Journey to Wild Divine develops according to such unusual factors as the user's current heart rate. A special training mode allows users to become familiar with the types of "mind/body exercises" required to navigate the fantasy game world.
The Journey to Wild Divine is intended to actually help users reduce their stress levels, and may possibly be used as a therapeutic tool. The game is the fruit of a creative partnership between Dr. Kurt Smith, a biomedical engineer, and Corwin Bell, an animator and developer. Several other experts in various fields have "allied" with Smith and Bell to create a product founded in real scientific research and technological understanding, including biofeedback specialists, Ph.D. authors, and a celebrated Tibetan musician.
