You in Wonderland – A Meditative Digital Experience

Disclaimer:

This project is an original concept designed to promote relaxation and mindfulness through digital interaction. Unauthorized reproduction or use of this concept, including its design, user experience, and implementation, is prohibited without permission. Future developments may be protected under intellectual property laws.

Goal: To create a digital space where users, particularly those managing stress, anxiety, or mental health conditions, can engage with the artwork in a soothing, exploratory way, fostering relaxation and mindfulness through interactive art.

Inspiration: This project translates the immersive and dreamlike qualities of my painting into an interactive, calming web experience.

Development & Prototyping

  • Tools: Figma (UI Design), Framer or Webflow (Prototyping), ProtoPie (For interactive sound effects and animations), Three.js (For light 3D effects).

  • Interactive Elements: Clicking on different areas of the painting triggers ambient animations and sound effects (e.g., water sounds for lakes, bird chirping for trees).

  • Sound Integration: Soft background music or customizable ASMR-style sounds for enhanced immersion.

Visual & UI Design

  • Color Palette: Inspired by the painting’s hues to evoke calm and introspection.

  • Typography & Icons: Soft, organic fonts and intuitive symbols that align with the dreamy theme.

  • Animations & Transitions: Gentle motion effects—elements subtly shift when clicked, mimicking breathing or flowing water.

User Testing & Iterations

  • Prototype Testing: Conduct user tests with a small audience, including mental health professionals, to refine interactions and pacing.

  • Feedback Loop: Adjust animations, sound triggers, and navigation based on user comfort and engagement levels. Would also include a signal or an action now button or symbol for sounds.

Conclusion & Future Vision

  • Potential Expansion: Could evolve into an AR/VR exhibit, where users step inside the world of You in Wonderland.

  • Applications: Digital meditation tool, online museum exhibit, or interactive learning experience for mindfulness.

  • Next Steps: Finalize the prototype, test usability, and explore funding or partnerships for development.
