On Tuesday, a browser manufacturer, a browser manufacturer, has launched a new browser called “Opera Air”, which focuses on mental health and mindfulness with functions such as brake reminders, breathing exercises, sound scapes and bino -briefs on Tuesday.
The company said that people use browsers for many online work and want to ship not only utility tools, but also browsers, a stress and focus management system.
Opera has chosen a new light design language with a translucent theme.
In the floating side bar, the company placed brake notification tools and boosts features that play the combination of music, surrounding sound and bino -bristy bits with the shortcuts of the company’s Aria AI Assistant, Messenger and Whatsapp.
The “take a break” function works like a battery indicator through three rods, and it becomes gray if you continue to use the browser for a long time. You can define continuous use time, and then send a signal to take a break when the level of the indicator drops. You can also turn out all of this indicator system.
For rest, the company designed a variety of breathing exercises, neck stretching, meditation or systemic scanning. You can do these activities depending on the rest length you want to take and the mode you want to choose.
In the case of neck stretching, the camera can be turned on so that the browser can guide the posture and form during practice.
Opear Air is currently practicing guide only in English for this rest. But it is also working for the voice of another language.
Another mind -free function, called Boosts, is already provided with a predetermined combination of music, surrounding sound and bino -brist. Mohamed Salah, the company’s product director, will help to play slightly different frequencies in each ear and to create a new “ghost” frequency effect to improve the focus. I said it was decided.
You can change the volume of music, ambient sounds, bino -briefs, and volume of each track at any time. You can also choose how long you want to use the boost from 15 minutes to infinity. At any time, you can play or pause boosts at the side bar.
When Techcrunch asked Opera why he built a separate browser instead of baking these tools in the existing browser, Salah said that the company wanted to bake the concept of mindfulness in other products.
“Opera One is a great browser aimed at productivity with the same features as the split screen and tap island. But what we want with opera air is to convey the concept of mindfulness with mindful tools and minimal designs, ”Salah said.
In addition, Mac and Mobile have a variety of apps for brake reminder or soundscape, but the company wanted to provide an all -in -mind package on the desktop.
The opera challenge is to allow people to adopt this version to explore mindfulness. Through the Opera One browser and game -oriented Opera GX browser, the company has built a familiar functional product line, and it may not be easy to switch to a minimum browser.
