Immersive massage

"Immersive massage" sounds painful, but it is exactly the opposite. Behind it are massage salons that use VR glasses to whisk their customers away to another place far from the stresses of everyday life.

Being massaged where you want: With the Esqape in Los Angeles customers can lie directly on the beach, in a Chinese pagoda or in a ski hut in front of the fireplace. Unfortunately, visitors to the salon have to do without a flesh-and-blood masseuse. Instead, they take a seat in a fully automatic massage chair. The model, called DreamWave, was designed by Ken Okuyama, who has already worked for Porsche, for example. By the way, you only have to take off your shoes for the VR massage.

In the booking form, customers can choose between ten different VR scenarios for their massage. There is the "Snowbank Cabin" with a fireplace and snow, the canyon suite "Standing Rock" with monarch butterflies or "Heavenly Garden".

For 45 dollars, customers get a half-hour VR massage session. Expensive fun for 30 minutes, especially since it's just a massage chair. The optional "Heat Therapy" costs an additional five dollars.
