The '''Orrb''' (also known as '''Oculas''' or '''Ovei pod''' and has been referred to as a "'''wellness device'''") is a precision-engineered [[monocoque]] structured physical device fabricated from 100% [[Recycling|recyclable]] [[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.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Jozuka |first=Emiko |title=Orrb wellness device takes you away from office stress |url=https://www.wired.com/story/orrb-office-bubble/ |access-date=2024-06-06 |work=Wired |language=en-US |issn=1059-1028}}</ref> Beyond its structural [[innovation]], theOvei Orrbpod was inspired by the concept of sacred spaces—places designed for deep reflection and inner calm.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Jozuka |first=Emikoweb |title=OrrbPersonal wellnessEntertainment devicePods takes you away from office stress(UPDATE) |url=https://www.wiredtrendhunter.com/storytrends/orrbmccormack-office-bubble/ovei |access-date=2024-06-06 |workwebsite=WiredTrendHunter.com |language=en-US |issn=1059-1028}}</ref> The first Oculas pod was designed by British designer and innovator Lee McCormack in 2002.
