  The Wilddivine Project- A Biofeedback Technology Leader
Review created: 11/29/08
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I had no problems installing this product on Windows 98 w/ Service Pack 3.

The game is very innovative and has some very entertaining game sequences.

This game was my introduction to biofeedback technology and proved to me the possibilities of altering my heartrate and mood at will.

I did find some parts of the game somewhat difficult, as there was some difficulty figuring out what exactly I was supposed to do to my mood to get past certain obstacles.

Sometimes if I had too much coffee or was stressed out, I could get no where in the game, because my heart was racing or my conductivity reading was off the chart.

I would recommend this game to people interested in Biofeedback technology or meditation.

The Wild Divine Project is a leader in developing Biofeedback technology, and for the price, you will be hard pressed to find a more engaging product.

  Wild Divine is junk

I've had this item for almost a month and have come to the sad conclusion that these people are nothing but crooks. First off, I tried to download the included disk onto my new Apple Pro book computer and it wouldn't accept the disk. I tried and tried to call the Wild Divine phone number who never returned my calls. I went on line many times trying to seek help to correct the problem so that I could use the unit and never do get a good response. I would try to get my money back, but I don't feel that the retailer that I bought this from on E'bay is responsible for the lack of quality from this manufacturer. I'm totally discusted with this product and the people who make it. Don't waste your money on this.

I have had the hardware and software package for a few months now. If you are willing to give it a try and, perhaps suspend any disbelief, you may also reap the benefits I have. I suffer from debilitating anxiety. It can prevent me from doing many ordinary daily routines. As I have used the programs, I have found a new attitude and many, many fewer anxious moments. It helps me to focus on the present and to change my attitude about circumstances I cannot change. I have found it to be incredibly helpful, enjoyable and calming.

I do have to agree about the customer service. I wrote to Wild Divine, three times, about the Deepak Chopra DVD not working. They chose to ignore me and I finally gave up. It is not an integral part of the program, however.

I highly recommend this (as well as the additional programs) to anyone having difficulty coping with the trials of our modern, hectic lives.

  Fun, Interesting, but not biofeedback
Review created: 03/24/09

I liked journey to wild divine as an experiment, and as entertainment, but not for biofeedback.
Wild divine is not truly biofeedback because it does not provide feedback.
It is true that there are sensors that measure two biological factors, skin conductivity and heart rate. Note that this does not include any kind of brainwave monitoring. From these two factors, though, they can derive other functions, such as heart rate variability, which actually may reflect some degree of emotional state. (This is hard to prove, though, because I have a great HRV when playing violent video games, an act which should theoretically destroy any peaceful vibes.)
However, the game tends to mask what is going on by covering it with a layer of mystical jargon.
Because you never really know what you are trying to control, and what affects it, this does not qualify as feedback.
If, however, you get the grapher expansion pack, then it does qualify, because the grepher pretty much tells it like it is.
The game does teach you some good breathing techniques, which are extremely valuable to me, as they help me fall asleep far better than pills.
Overall, the game would have been much more useful, though, if they had just been honest and told you what was going on instead of being mystical about it.
That being said, I enjoyed the program, and thought the sequel, wisdom quest was even better. Wisdom quest was better, in my opinion, because it uses the biofeedback aspect as a part of the control, but not the sole method. I could really see video games being improved by adding similar controls.
About the worst thing about this set up is the interface, known as the light stone. You have to wear it on three fingers, which is pretty lame. If you move your fingers you can get bad results. So can not moving your fingers. Even people with good circulation will have to take the sensors off and get their hands back to normal before attempting any of the games you encounter.
People with bad circulation will fare far worse. They say to keep your hands warm, put a towel over it, etc, but if you get stuck on a challenge, you have to take off the sensors and shake out your hand, guaranteed. For this reason, I would wait to buy this game until they come out with a headband, which they should have done from the beginning.
