Mindfullness App 3D Prototyping

Prototyping

Wildbox

We built a fully functional iOS prototype to explore how mindfulness could be guided through interaction—not just sound. Using Apple’s GlobeKit, we developed a tappable, rotatable globe interface as the main navigation space, allowing users to select different biomes and emotional states. I led the design and integration of custom Swift UI components alongside Unreal Engine for immersive 3D environments. Our team modeled creatures in-house, optimized them for mobile performance, and built an animation system that reflected mood-based behavior. We worked closely with stakeholders across design and development to ensure the experience wasn’t just beautiful—it was practical, testable, and rooted in real research on user relaxation and exploration. The goal wasn’t a concept deck—it was a working, explorable build.
