PIP - A Revolution in Stress Management
The power to relax is at your fingertips
DEMOfall 07, SAN DIEGO California, September 24, 2007 – Vyro Games today showcased PIP -Personal Input Pod™ -a revolutionary biosensor that helps manage stress.
The PIP communicates wirelessly with software applications that run on Bluetooth™ enabled devices such as mobile phones, PCs, Macs, and game consoles. The PIP is part of a unique stress management solution. It is highly portable, and empowers individuals to help them take control of their stress in a fun and engaging way.
“A walk in the park during a stressful work day is a luxury that few people can afford”, says Paul Kewene-Hite, CEO of Vyro Games. “The PIP and applications will be affordable and will work wherever you need it at a moment’s notice. Managing stress is now literally in your hands, at your fingertips.”
“Stress is a major health issue worldwide. Vyro Games and the PIP provide a high-performance personal relaxation solution in a tiny package”, says Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMOfall conference, where the PIP debuted. “You’ve got stress, you need a PIP.”

Games with a twist
Games on a mobile phone and PC are the first applications to work with PIP technology. They are fun, engaging and appeal to everyone -from CEOs to moms, and other casual and non-traditional gamers. Where brain games keep the mind active, Vyro’s games teach it to relax.
Relax & Race is a revolutionary gaming experience for mobile phones and desktop PCs, where victory is achieved only by out-relaxing an opponent. Relax enough, and the player might even fly.
Stormchaser is a unique mood-based game. The weather is mapped to stress levels, encouraging the player to find their inner calm, tame the storm and bring out the sun.
Lie Detective is a game that responds to the stress caused by deception. Less than truthful answers to probing questions send the needle of this classic polygraph display racing.
