Sometimes the best ideas are born from the simple observation of phenomena that made entertainment history fun, or start at absolutely concepts away from logics that dominate this market, such as the use of force of the mind. But the common denominator is what has surprised us in science fiction films.
From there, inspired the new paradigm 3i and original creations PubCompany, an Italian company has developed and put in 'gaming' two great products that stem from different concepts but a single purpose, to amuse.
The first product, Wii Qube revolutionizing reinvents the classic Tetris: thanks to an innovative concept from the control, you can manipulate in 3D blocks of the classic Tetris. In a way, you can even enter the game in first person, interacting with the blocks by means of movements of the body. It is not coincidence that PubCompany wanted to choose a classic like Tetris to create, starting from his mechanics, something totally new but familiar.
Then comes Wii RelaxTM, which includes two products - Mind Relax and Relax Body - games that blend the control for the mental training to physical and mental relaxation, the movement of the body, providing a range of activities that contribute to physical and mental well being, thanks to 'implementation of techniques such as yoga, Thai Chi, Qi-Gong, progressive relaxation, mental visualization, massage, meditation techniques and breathing.
Really missed the experience for the mind control, with the player who has the ability to track, using their brain waves through earphones 3rd Mind Controller included, your stress levels in real time, working to improve this threshold relaxing. In addition to 'training, the same 3rd Mind Controller is used to play, either alone or in company, a game controlled by its own mental input which leads not to play more' strong or having the best reflexes, but using only the powers of the mind for actions of the game ..
Both products have been designed to target a completely transverse and heterogeneous audience:
Wii Qube - 3i is a game inspired by the classic game of Tetris, which we all love, thanks to the innovative game control that merges the wonderful mechanics of the game can push the players' inside 'the game!
