Digital mental health company Headspace announced its new virtual reality app Headspace XR, which utilizes mixed reality and virtual reality to help users strengthen their mind-body connection through movement and breathwork.

数字心理健康公司Headspace宣布推出了新的虚拟现实应用程序Headspace XR，它利用混合现实和虚拟现实来帮助用户通过运动和呼吸来加强身心联系。

The app, available on Meta Quest, includes mood-boosting games, one-on-one guided meditations and other techniques.

Headspace said in a statement it aims to reach a younger audience with the VR app, especially Gen Z.

Headspace在一份声明中表示，它的目标是通过VR应用程序吸引年轻观众，尤其是Z世代。

Later this year, Headspace plans to conduct a randomized control trial to evaluate how Headspace XR can assist people with social health and connection. The study aims to explore the direct mental health benefits of mindfulness in a virtual environment.

今年晚些时候，顶空计划进行一项随机对照试验，以评估顶空XR如何帮助人们获得社会健康和联系。这项研究旨在探索在虚拟环境中正念对心理健康的直接益处。

'Research shows that when humans play, our brains are activated in a way that can impact overall life satisfaction and emotional well-being. Unfortunately, our day-to-day lives are often stripped of this opportunity,' Sara Cohen, vice president of content creation at Headspace, said in a statement.

研究表明，当人类玩耍时，我们的大脑会被激活，从而影响整体生活满意度和情绪健康。Headspace内容创作副总裁萨拉·科恩（SaraCohen）在一份声明中说，不幸的是，我们的日常生活常常被剥夺了这个机会。

'Together with Meta and Nexus Studios, we're thrilled to combine the power of play with meditation and mindfulness in an immersive experience that also allows you to build community by engaging in Headspace XR together with your friends.'

“与Meta和Nexus工作室一起，我们很高兴能将游戏的力量与冥想和正念结合在一起，体验身临其境的体验，这也让你能够通过与朋友一起参与Headspace XR来建立社区。”

THE LARGER TREND

更大的趋势

Data from the American Psychological Association's Stress in America Survey revealed Gen Z teens between the ages of 13 and 17 and Gen Z adults between 18 and 23 experienced elevated stress and reported symptoms of depression due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have long-term consequences on their health.  .

Headspace has announced numerous partnerships to expand access to its behavioral health offerings in the past few years.
