Extended MetaMeditation

Extended MetaMeditation was commissioned by the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research at the University of Southampton and developed as my WSA graduation project.

Inspired by Himalayan singing bowls, the project asks what an expanded meditation beyond physical reality and stillness could feel like.

This multimodal interactive meditation system treats the human body as a sound performance. A wearable glove, musical interaction and virtual reality blur the boundary between active and passive meditation: users are both experiencers and performers.
