About This Project
Summary
Headspace XR is a virtual playground for your mind combating Gen Z's mental health crisis. We use innovative locomotion & inclusive avatars to make mindfulness fun & accessible, building healthy habits for life. It’s the first open-world game dedicated to wellness. The biggest innovation in Headspace XR sits at its core. We took the best of the Quest platform; its social, immersive, playful qualities and reimagined Headspace’s powerful mindfulness techniques for a younger audience.
Goals & Objectives
The objectives were to increase mental health awareness through innovative XR & gamified mindfulness, and widespread adoption of mindfulness habits. We used innovative technology to create a free roam world through teleportation and also redefined excellence in graphics and art in immersive worlds.
