"How might we utilise mindfulness techniques and XR to quickly alleviate mental distress immersively, such as stress and anxiety, for young adults?"

Breath Harmony

Breath Harmony looks into integrating extended realities and ideas of mindfulness to create immersive environments to help mitigate mental health issues among young adults. Those who have the highest rate of mental health issues in their day-to-day lives, yet are also the same age group who utilises avoidance-based strategies instead of effective problem-based ones. Breath Harmony is an immersive augmented reality and mobile application to help bridge this gap between young adults and utilise problem-based coping mechanisms. Allowing users to learn about mindfulness and different types of breathing techniques while letting users practice these within the application by guiding them through the process with the help of augmented reality. The application also allows users to track their progress and save their favourite types of breathing for later quick access. 

Breath Harmony aims to help young adults by creating a product that can quickly alleviate mental distress at the very moment it is needed, being quick and accessible.
