Step into the future of dementia care with 40X-Flash Quest, a Virtual/Mixed Reality game tailored for cognitive-physical enhancement. This immersive experience offers a dual approach to wellness with two games on the current version.
Mem-Mahjong Mastery: Players can sharpen their minds with a mahjong-based memory game. Flipping pairs of tiles, earn points for matching sets to clear the board, engaging their cognitive skills to combat dementia.
Hiit the ball: The game’s dynamic ball-hitting challenge promotes physical activity. As sports balls cascade from the sky, players must strike them before they touch the ground. It is designed to resemble high-intensity-interval-training (HIIT), adaptable for play in bed or seated, ensuring accessibility.
The 40 Hz flickering technology integrated into the VR/MR headset is more than just a feature. Research indicates that this specific frequency can aid in preventing or mitigating the effects of dementia, making 40X-Flash Quest a potential lifeline for cognitive decline.
