The Concept of Helium: A New Approach to Meditation

Helium is an immersive storytelling platform that offers an innovative approach to meditation through interactive experiences powered by users' biometric data. Instead of passively consuming content, users engage actively by influencing visual stories based on their physiological responses, such as heart rate and breathing patterns. This unique connection allows individuals to visualize their emotional states, making meditation more accessible and personalized. Helium aims to provide a supplementary tool for those who struggle with traditional meditation practices, transforming the meditation experience into an engaging and calming journey.
