For the final project, I chose to explore mindfulness and meditation.

I took a more cultural approach for inspiration where I chose to depict ancient meditation and healing practices from the Indian culture.

It is believed that every human has seven energy centres in the body which are responsible for various aspects of life. When one wants to heals a certain area, balancing the Chakra relating to that area can be really helpful. This can be done through meditation and the media can involve, sound, light, concentration, visualisation or anything that is calming.

I personally resonate with sound and focus so that is the approach I went for with this assignment.

For the outcome, I chose to experiment with 3 elements:

1. Motion
2. Graphic
3. Sound

The motion and sound bit was relatively easy since there was quite a bit of exploration that happened throughout the course however, 3D was a new avenue since I played a bit with the WebGL library for the first time.

The outcome is supposed to be calming and meant to induce focus amongst the viewer.

I also wanted to play a bit with the keyPressed() function considering I did many assignments with mousePressed() so I wanted to switch things up. KeyPressed() also gives the user more agency to choose which Chakra they want to focus on.

Following is the code:

Following is the outcome:
