Show HN: Soft-Body Musical Instruments and Breathing Exercises on Vision Pro
Hey HN!<p>I’m an NHS Doctor and founder of Pia (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.piahealth.co" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.piahealth.co</a>), which developed Lungy (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lungy.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lungy.app</a>), and now an extension &#x2F; partner app for Apple Vision Pro – ‘Lungy: Spaces’<p>Lungy: Spaces is designed to be a relaxing instrument you can play in space, as well as a calming, immersive environment to perform breathing exercises. This was inspired by ancient meditation practices, such as Tibetan singing bowls, encouraging the user to focus on the present moment and their surroundings, an active, sound-based meditation.<p>Lungy: Spaces uses a combination of Metal + RealityKit for the visuals - combined with a soft body solver. It combines full environments, which fully surround the user in a virtual space, and the Apple Vision Pro’s mixed spaces, which blend the user’s surroundings with interactive 3D objects. The UI is fully native for Apple Vision Pro - we rebuilt it from the ground up.<p>The app is free to download, with full access to all visuals &#x2F; spaces costing $4.99 (one-off, no subscription). It’s available here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;id6470201263" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;id6470201263</a><p>Would love to hear feedback!
Lungy: Spaces for Apple Vision Pro
Lungy Feedback:"Using the recovery mode, the visuals allowed me to be distracted from the attack, yet, still able to focus on the breathing. After 3-4 breaths, I was relieved."Joshelyn"I had an asthma attack when talking to my boyfriend on phone.At that time, I was not able to find my inhaler, so I chose Lungy.Using the recovery mode, the visuals allowed me to be distracted from the attack, yet, still able to focus on the breathing. After 3-4 breaths, I was relieved."Joshelyn"Using the recovery mode, the visuals allowed me to be distracted from my breathlessness, yet, still able to focus on my breathing.
