SpectralBalance
A VR therapeutic platform using handwatch gesture tracking to visualize hand tremors as ghostly spectral forms that patients must navigate across virtual tightropes.

The Wow Moment
A patient with Parkinson's puts on the headset and sees their hand tremor rendered as a translucent, shimmering ghost form dancing around their real hand. As they focus and stabilize their movement to walk a virtual tightrope, the ghost calms and merges with their hand - the first time they've literally 'seen' their medication and therapy working in real-time.
