This design concept emerged from my participation in a designathon hosted by a Y Combinator company. The challenge prompt for this event was: "How might we intentionally create a better world through the metaverse?" In response to this theme, my partner and I devised a concept leveraging the VR headset experience.
Hygge is an innovative VR application that empowers individuals to take control of their environment. We aimed to bridge the gap in the market and create a real-world-inspired VR application that utilized real (copyright-free) visuals. Recognizing the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people's lives, Hygge addresses the longing for exploration and a return to a sense of normalcy. By providing a much-needed reprieve from the pandemic's negative mental health effects, our application offers a transformative and rejuvenating VR experience.
