Developers Galaxy Labs, Kofeecup, and HOO KOO E KOO have revealed that their upcoming VR meditation app Maloka will be guided through their mindfulness journey by the voice of renowned scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Science is in the core of Maloka, where it activates Beta and Theta brainwaves that aid in relaxation. Neil deGrasse Tyson is now very well known to be the voice of the universe, but in this new app, Tyson will help practicers settle into their own private virtual island in Maloka that will grow alongside them with continued practice.
Check out the trailer of Maloka below:
Maloka will be available on Meta Quest starting on December 14, with a free companion app available on iOS and Android.
