Toyota Trucks, the media entity AllGear Digital, and the research firm Immersion Neuroscience entered a collaborative project to explore the physiological and psychological dimensions of an outdoor adventure. The initiative was titled 'Destination Detours' and involved participants using Toyota vehicles for a journey guided by non-digital navigation tools.
To understand the outcomes of 'Destination Detours,' the collaborators utilized a proprietary application, SIXApp, which interpreted data from common wearable devices to generate metrics related to emotional engagement and psychological safety during the experience. Dr. Paul Zak, neuroscientist and founder of Immersion Neuroscience, characterized the data as indicating sustained periods of high-value engagement for the participants. He stated: "All three teams had sustained high-value experiences — moments essential for humans to thrive and be happy. When we experience six or more of these key moments per day, we live longer, healthier, and happier lives.”
