Inspiration

Mental health struggles like stress, anxiety, and loneliness affect millions, yet access to professional help is limited. We wanted to create a supportive, AI-powered mindfulness companion that provides comfort, relaxation, and emotional well-being in an interactive and accessible way.

What it does

ZenScape is an AI-powered AR mindfulness companion that:

Listens without judgment and provides personalized relaxation guidance. Uses Augmented Reality (AR), AI, and voice interaction for an immersive experience. Offers breathing exercises, meditation, and stress-relief techniques. Provides private emotional support, with parental monitoring for teens (ages 10+), ensuring safety. Ensures data privacy—user data is only accessible for a day before being deleted.

How we built it

AI & NLP: OpenAI GPT, Google Dialogflow AR Integration: Unity, Blender, ARCore (Android) Backend: AWS or Azure, Python Flask Frontend: React Native, Kotlin Database: MongoDB / PostgreSQL

Challenges we ran into

Integrating AI with AR for a smooth user experience. Ensuring real-time responsiveness in voice and text interactions. Designing an intuitive and immersive UI for all age groups.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully built an AI-powered mindfulness assistant with real-time AR integration.

What we learned

The importance of ethical AI in mental health applications. How AR can enhance relaxation and meditation experiences. Balancing user privacy and accessibility in AI-powered applications. The potential of gamification in mental well-being apps.
