Stress Reduction Application Pause

WONDERZINE talks about beautiful, functional or strange things that you want to buy immediately.

In the regiment of cool applications to combat stress and depression arrived. Pause is a joint development of UX-designer Peng Cheng and digital studio products UsTwo (the one that released the most beautiful game of the past year "Monument Valley"). The initiator of the project was Cheng: at some point he stopped coping with the amount of daily stress, tried to nullify it with meditation and other known methods, but nothing helped. I had to do everything myself.

Pause, if to explain in two words, takes all the user's attention and does not allow him to think (that is, to worry). At the same time, it works better than the most beautiful game: in any game you have to make a decision, and this is tiring. And it’s better than a 10-minute rest with eyes closed: feverishly jumping from thought to thought doesn’t interfere with closed eyes, and Pause doesn’t interfere. At first, it attracts you with a finger to drive a swelling colored dot on the screen, and after a minute it pours soothing sounds into your ears and makes the phone vibrate slightly. The effect of the application was assessed in two stages using an electroencephalogram, and specialists from the University of Sussex confirmed that the application actually reduces brain activity and allows them to let go.
