Description

Inspired by a tendency to take meditation way too seriously, Mindful Breathing challenges users to accumulate breaths, add upgrades, and wager their progress on the journey to transcendence. Using ml5 and PoseNet, participants' bodies are tracked in order to log breaths and transform what is, at first, a simple interface into a claustrophobic cacophony of 'mindfulness enhancers.' After a certain amount of progress, players are able to measure their success against the self-actualization of others and bet their breaths for the chance to surpass the competition.

This project is inspired by Universal Paperclips by Frank Lantz. Big thanks to Mathura, Craig, Ellen, Lisa Jamhoury, Lisa Sokolov, and all my classmates for their help!
