Abstract: A wellness system comprises an exercise load providing unit for providing a load of a physical exercise for a user, and for measuring a movement of the user who is doing the physical exercise, a virtual reality environment providing unit for providing the user with a virtual reality environment that can cause user's plural senses such as the sense of sight, hearing, touch, and smell to work, according to the contents of the virtual reality environment, and a control unit for controlling the virtual reality environment provided by the virtual reality environment providing unit according to the user's movement measured by the exercise load providing unit. Furthermore, when providing the virtual reality environment, the virtual reality environment providing unit displays an image which produces the virtual reality environment by setting its angle of view to be larger than an angle of view of a corresponding object or scene which was shot.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring mental tension comprises a first measuring unit for measuring a periodic wave related to a contraction activity of the heart of a person to be monitored; a detecting unit for detecting special waves which periodically appear in the periodic wave measured by the first measuring unit; a second measuring unit for measuring the interval at which the special wave are generated; a first processor for providing, as tension index values, a mean value of an interval train of the special waves and the magnitude of a respiration component of the fluctuation of the interval train; and a display unit for displaying the resulting tension index values.
