Meanwhile, ever wondered how it feels like to be in a traditional Finnish Sauna?

In Finland, you can find over 3 million saunas for a population of 5.5 million. Historically, the sauna was used as a sterile environment for medical treatments, childbirth, and preparing the deceased for burial. Today, it is mostly used as a place for relaxation or socializing. As one of the lighthouse projects, the smart garment research group continues to develop tactile experiences of a virtual sauna. The core idea of a virtual sauna is to research how thermal sensations like hot and cold can be implemented in XR solutions.
