Nurture Your Digital Soul
A mental wellness app where users nurture a digital bonsai companion that grows and transforms based on their emotional journey, expressed through hand shadows captured by phone camera. The AI interprets shadow puppet gestures as emotional inputs—making shadow animals for joy, open palms for calm, closed fists for stress—while the bonsai's branches and leaves respond in real-time.
"I felt that. Let's breathe together"
A stressed teen makes a chaotic, scribbly shadow with their hands, and watches their bonsai's branches gently untangle and reorganize into a peaceful shape—suddenly realizing they're not alone in their overwhelm, and their emotions literally shape something beautiful.
