The Pip tested: esoteric gugus or practical gadget for stress relief?
The Pip looks a bit like a weird sex toy and even has the same goal: stress relief. We had our blogger put the device through its paces and test its ability to meditate.
The Pip is a small egg-shaped device that you hold between your thumb and index finger. In this way, the electrical resistance of the skin is measured, which should provide information about your own emotions. This biofeedback is supposed to help you learn to deal with stress better and ideally avoid it altogether. We asked our blogger Debby Galka to find out whether this is all just esoteric blather or actually has a tangible benefit.
And here's the relaxation egg
Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
