As a designer, I believe that shifts in medium open up new, body- and emotion-centered modes of interaction, as well as possibilities for cross-temporal experiences. OmMind is a bold attempt to embody this belief — we explored how spatial computing technology could bring the essence of Tibetan healing culture into users' everyday lives, offering deep relaxation amidst the stress of modern living.

Nearly four in 10 adults worldwide say their lives have been affected to some degree by depression and anxiety, according to the Wellcome Global Monitor study.
79%
Approximately 76% of people express a desire for effective stress relief tools, with increasing interest in mindfulness for mental health support.
4.7%
According to the Journal of Medical Internet Research, only 4.7% of users continue using mobile meditation apps 30 days after download — revealing a serious lack of engagement.
Imagine being able to step into a healing sanctuary — right from your room
For the shared belief in mixed reality, we attempt to design a more immersive, sensory-engaging digital healing experience.

How to design beyond 2D screens anc clicking interactions
Our experience draws inspiration from Tibetan cultural rituals and sacred objects, due to the tradition's profound capacity for spiritual nourishment. To inform our design, we studied how existing VR applications handle navigation, hand-based interactions, scene transitions, and levels of immersion — learning from their strategies to design for embodied presence and a smooth user experience in MR.

Design outcome
The project is still in progress--we only made the prototype with enough fidelity for us to test our ideas and see people's reactions; we still need to iterate on the narrative & interaction design. Here's a medium-fidelity prototype that we recently tested with the public:
