BreathSync
A research-backed VR biofeedback experience that teaches deep belly breathing practice to promote mindfulness and reduce stress. This immersive application combines Unity development, biofeedback technology, and game design principles to create an effective therapeutic tool.
Project Overview
BreathSync leverages the immersive power of virtual reality to guide users through scientifically-proven breathing exercises. The experience uses real-time biofeedback to help users develop proper breathing techniques that can reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
The application features:
- Unity Development – Custom-built VR experience with optimized performance for meditation and mindfulness applications.
- Biofeedback Integration – Real-time physiological monitoring to provide immediate feedback on breathing patterns.
- Game Design Principles – Engaging visual and interactive elements that make mindfulness practice accessible and enjoyable.
Technical Implementation
Built in Unity, BreathSync combines VR technology with biofeedback sensors to create a responsive and adaptive experience. The system monitors the user's breathing patterns and provides visual and audio feedback to guide them toward optimal breathing techniques.
Key technical features include:
- Real-time Biofeedback – Integration with physiological sensors to monitor breathing patterns and heart rate variability.
- Adaptive Guidance – AI-driven coaching that adjusts to individual user needs and progress.
- Immersive Environments – Carefully designed virtual spaces that promote relaxation and focus.
