New headset-based experience is designed to create more focused immersive environments for first responders, military personnel and other high-consequence workforces

JAFFREY, N.H., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shivoo Studios, an XR studio specializing in immersive technology and spatial computing solutions, is collaborating with Vitanya to bring the company’s established Brain Performance program into a next-generation immersive XR experience.

For more than a decade, Vitanya has provided guided wellness sessions through a combination of proprietary technology, audio-visual methodologies and one-on-one coaching. Previously delivered through laptops and video calls, the program is now being reimagined as a headset-based experience designed to create greater focus, engagement and accessibility through immersive technology.

The ongoing initiative, which began in 2025, is designed to allow users to access the Vitanya experience from virtually anywhere using a headset. The current augmented reality experience helps direct users’ attention toward their session while maintaining awareness of their physical surroundings. As development continues, users will also be able to choose fully immersive virtual environments, adding greater flexibility in how and where they engage with the Vitanya experience.

Vitanya’s programs have been utilized by a range of individuals, including first responders, military personnel and others working under sustained operational pressure.

“One of the things we recognized early in the project was how naturally immersive technology complements the Vitanya experience,” said Sterling Youngman, CEO of Shivoo Studios. “When you put on a headset and introduce an immersive experience, your attention naturally shifts toward what’s being presented to you. That can help lessen distractions from the outside world and create a more focused environment for the experience.”

As part of the engagement, Shivoo Studios has led the redesign of the platform’s visual experience, interactive environments and software architecture. The team has also migrated the platform to OpenXR standards, helping ensure compatibility with future XR hardware ecosystems.

The immersive platform incorporates educational visualizations that illustrate the frequency states associated with guided sessions. Future development will integrate additional Vitanya modalities within the experience.

The platform will continue to support Vitanya’s human-centered coaching model. Through integrated communication features, users will be able to connect directly with Certified Brain Performance Coaches while participating in immersive sessions, combining one-to-one guidance with emerging XR technologies.

For Vitanya Founder and Executive Chairman Michael Southworth, seeing a program developed over more than a decade translated into immersive reality represents a new chapter in how the Vitanya experience can be delivered.

“Seeing the VR experience come to life gave me a sense of pride, using a platform thought of as predominantly for entertainment to help people sleep better, think clearer, and perform stronger. It really puts humans at the center of the technology.”

The project demonstrates how an established Brain Performance program can be extended through immersive technology without replacing the human expertise at its core. It also showcases how an existing platform can be thoughtfully redesigned for XR, expanding where and how users can access the experience.

As development continues, Shivoo and Vitanya are exploring deployment opportunities across home environments, military facilities, first responder organizations and other settings serving high-consequence workforces.
