The '''Orrb''' (also known as '''Oculas''' or '''Ovei pod''' and has been referred to as a "'''wellness device'''"<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Launchpad Directory Tech City 2011 |url=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a75c6e1e5274a545822e22b/Launchpad_directory_-_Tech_City_2011.pdf |journal=Directory of Digital Products |pages=38}}</ref>[1]:38) is a precision-engineered [[monocoque]] structured physical device fabricated from 100% [[Recycling|recyclable]] (<nowiki>https://eucia.eu/what-are-composites/</nowiki>) [[glass-reinforced plastic]] with dimensions 3 feet by 6 feet that allows users to sit inside, fostering a sense of [[calmness]] with a 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes wellness session. It facilitates experiences from [[Relaxation (psychology)|relaxation]], brain entrainment, and [[entertainment]] to engender a focused work culture.

== History ==

In 2002, McCormack named the device ‘Oculas’ as the prototype, later in 2008 he worked on an engineering partnership with [[McLaren Applied Technologies]], culminating in the all-new “Ovei” which enhances personal and professional spaces through technology and comfort fusion. F1 drivers [[Lewis Hamilton]] and [[Damon Hill]] used the pods to help with relaxation and focus.<ref>{{Cite web |title=If It's Hip It's Here {{!}} The latest in global design and creativity |url=https://www.ifitshipitshere.com/the-ovei-pod-a-personal-cocoon-in-various-forms-from-artist-decorated-to-gaming/?noamp=mobile#google_vignette |access-date=2024-05-27 |website=www.ifitshipitshere.com}}</ref> Inspired by the compact efficiency of the Japanese [[Capsule hotel|Capsule Hotel]], the Orrb has evolved to become a multifaceted platform which was commercially released in April 2015 with each design step meticulously shaped by geometric precision and mathematical principles for timeless appeal and adaptability in varied settings. In 2023 McCormack began creating the Orrb XR model, collaborating with Beckhoff and the Veterans Affairs (VA) in the US.
