Ancient Ritual’s Arc is an innovative personal sauna designed to provide a multi-sensory experience, including infrared heat, soothing light, high-fidelity surround sound, and a software platform that incorporates artificial intelligence to evolve with the user.
The simple and attractive exterior is constructed of natural oak and Japanese hinoki cypress, while the interior has an adjustable reclining wood chair and a smaller fold-down guest seat. Heat is provided by an array of high-grade carbon infrared low-EMP side panels and ceiling heater that are clinically optimized for the therapeutic window of cellular healing. Controls use a custom OS and AI learning system that synthesizes user and environment data to optimize an experience. Arc offers much-needed immersion therapy and immerses users in a microenvironment that stimulates their senses.
The design of Arc is innovative in that it offers a compact in-home sauna experience that goes beyond traditional saunas. It is compact enough to fit in any room, and offers superior heating technology, and advanced machine-learning controls. It also maximizes comfort in a tight space, with a cushioned 150-degree reclining lounge chair that is fully adjustable to the user’s preference, and fold-down shelves for drinks and personal items. The layered insulation isolates the 2.1 surround sound experience so no sound is heard outside the cabin. The integrated temperature and moisture controls, along with safe ventilation, make it easy to install without special wiring or ventilation hookups.
Arc provides the ultimate health experience, delivering immersion therapies to leave the user feeling recharged, restored, and renewed. It includes guided experiences, such as meditation and breathwork content, to relax the user’s mind and body. The software uses empathetic artificial intelligence to evolve with the user, transforming their data into dimensional dynamic analytics to track their journey and personal growth goals.
The benefits of Arc are backed by science, such as improved sleep, recovery, immunity, reduced stress, increased energy, improved focus, and promoting balance. It is the only sauna that enhances both the body and mind. In addition to individual wellness, societal wellness is a direct result as well. Arc helps individuals to preserve and celebrate the deep-seated cultural tradition of thermal reprieve, and its use of environmentally friendly materials ensures it provides environmental, social, and economic benefits.
Arc’s appropriate aesthetics make it a new type of in-home furniture. Its design is innovative, compact, and attractive, and it offers a premium experience that enhances both body and mind.
