An immersive visualization meditation program that captures sound and movement through a distorted mirror
Welcome to the Sonic Mirror Self Study Meditations. This immersive visualization and meditation tool combines the arts of coding and self-reflection, offering a unique, interactive experience. Created by Danielle Gauthier, this project leverages p5.js to capture and manipulate audio and video inputs, creating a dynamic and personalized meditation environment.
Sonic Mirror Meditation is designed to:
- Capture your sound and movement.
- Reflect these inputs through an environmental mirror on your screen.
- Provide guided meditations to facilitate self-study and reflection.
This project emphasizes accessibility, personalization, and a soothing user experience, with an intent to inspire curiosity and self-exploration. Find the script here.
