MR Wellbeing

As VR headset usage continues to rise, mindful usage is becoming essential for overall wellbeing. This inspired us to develop MR Wellbeing (MR for Mixed Reality) - our MVP for the XR Bootcamp, built in just two weeks despite everyone’s busy schedules.

The app is designed not to stop users from using their headsets entirely but to encourage balanced usage. By integrating a gamified experience, it keeps users engaged while also reminding them to take necessary breaks.

A huge shout-out to my amazing teammates who dedicated their time to bring this idea to life. Jiayao Yu created stunning 3D plant models and VFX, Rana Jollanar implemented the reward collection system and timer functionality, and Thanos Loupas built the break analytics. I focused on headset detection, notification reminders, and spatial anchors functionality.

So much thanks to our mentor Laura Murinova for her constant feedback and valuable inputs throughout the project, it truly helped shape and improve our idea.

It’s exciting to see how MR can enhance digital wellbeing, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. If you're interested in exploring this idea further, let’s connect.
