I want to share the core concept behind my latest project, Meditusa 🪼.
This is designed to be more than just a breathing guide—it’s an interactive, bio-reactive stress visualizer. The plan is to connect Meditusa to the user's smartwatch data, specifically tracking HRV (Heart Rate Variability) to reflect their real-time stress levels.
In high-stress states, the environment shifts: a "black rain" begins, Meditusa’s expression changes to nervous, frightened, or irritable, and her tentacles become covered in dark tar. The only way to "cleanse" her, stop the rain, and restore peace is by completing a customized breathing session.
While the complex procedural tentacle animations and visual design are fully completed in Rive, the dynamic phase-shifting logic and data integration are still a work in progress.
Check out the current state of the project in the Rive Community! [https://rive.app/community/files/28186-53223-meditusa/ ]
