(B-Bridge) and Artifice Inc. (Artifice) today unveiled ZEN VR, the future of Zen meditation. Zen meditation is arguably one of the biggest trends today. Traditionally, Zen meditation has been practiced in special locations that help us detach from today’s bustling lifestyle. Using virtual reality technologies, this can now be done anywhere and anytime. Japan-based Artifice teamed up with Silicon Valley-based B-Bridge to launch ZEN VR, the world’s first Virtual Reality Zen meditation application. Using their smartphones, users can now immerse themselves in peaceful, Zen locals that were once unattainable. Users can choose anything from a babbling brook to forbidden Japanese temples like Chūgū-ji and Taima-dera. "Due to today’s busy lifestyles, Zen meditation attracts many people," states Kōraku Daikokuji, a Shingon Mikkyo monk. "However, it is difficult to find the right environment to properly practice this art. I believe ZEN VR offers a unique solution to this problem. " ZEN VR continues to collaborate with many cities and municipalities in Japan and other countries to expand its library of Zen meditation settings. Currently, over one hundred locations around the world are in development and are scheduled to be released by the end of the year.
