Team Orbit
We wish to re-imagine how to use Virtual Reality to improve mental health by creating a more powerful and immersive mindfulness experiences. Our experience will allow users to create a serene and safe space for immersive audio journaling, memory recording and self talk.
Inspiration
Orbit reimagines how to use VR to improve mental health by creating more powerful and immersive mindfulness experiences.
The core experience will allow users to create a serene and safe space for immersive audio journaling, memory recording and self talk.
To encourage deep thoughts, open minded thinking, and repeat usage, our UI design is inspired by the vast night sky full of stars. Users will create "orbs" of audio that mimic stars and create their very own beautiful galaxy of thoughts.
