Meanwhile, it also has what Opera calls a Full Body Scan. The company says it is a guided routine which enables them to focus on different parts of the body and “deeply connect mind and body”. All of the mindfulness exercises are guided by real voice actors and s can select between Alex or Emma. Although it can be toggled manually, they can also choose to set break reminders and their frequency.
Another key feature in Opera Air is Boosts. It leverages binaural beats, an auditory technique which plays two slightly different frequencies in each ear so that the brain may perceive a third frequency, inducing different mental states such as focus or relaxation. The binaural beats are accompanied by a music track and an ambient sound, and s can adjust their levels and frequencies as per their preference with the help of sliders.
Of course, the feature requires headphones to work, following which Boosts such as Creativity Boost, Energised Focus, or Deep Relaxation may be induced. This feature has a default period of 30 minutes but can be adjusted between 15 minutes to an unlimited duration. It is also accessible in the sidebar of the Opera Air browser.
Lastly, the company has also improved the Speed Dial feature by adding a Quote of the day. Mindful quotes will appear at the bottom on the browser's main screen. Opera says quotes can be shuffled through, customised, and even deactivated.
