The players feel engaged and excited in a competitive sense, but must work together to overcome the challenges and stay calm under pressure. Stress-busting screen savers are also being marketed by CMM, under the Buddies series. Buddies involves two animated characters that assist an employee to implement stress management intervention through deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, imagery, and cue word exercises. Another screensaver is Meditation. This product takes the deep breathing and concentration techniques of yoga and mixes it with computer technology.
