Current Projects.

Game Based Therapeutics:

• Adventures In Breath (AiB): Breath is elemental and vital to health and wellbeing. Working with partners, academics and clinicians, we have studied the “sci of breath” and are building Adventures In Breath: an ecosystem of breath based games that use breath as a game mechanic. What is a breath based game mechanic? A game mechanic where you use your breath to interact/move in the game. Each breath ritual ties to a scientifically validated breath therapeutic, and is expressed within the game through interactivity mechanics and responsive design. AiB playifies/gamifies breath therapeutics in immersive game narratives.

• Karma The Six Realm Game: Gamify-ing prosociality! The 6 realms can be understood as forms of existence, or states of mind, into which beings are born according to their karma. The realms can be viewed as situations in life or even personality types. Not everyone goes through the six realms the Same Way. The Journey through the six realms is a Journey through the mind. Game play begins in the “ladder”, where our simple micro game calculates your score based on self interest and prosocial scenarios. This score determines which of the 6 realms a player is born into. In each realm, a player explores game play (cause and effect) through prosocial game mechanics.

Social Therapeutics:

• WalkXR: a web app that provides community members with the ability to experience, explore and learn from our individual and collective expressions of our states of mind, emotional states, and aspirations and hopes! What if your company/school/organization could customize trainings or wellbeing programs, that leverage the science of prosociality, and help you become more...

• …Empathetic, Prosocial, & Better on perspective taking

• The Verse’s Social Therapeutics: promote learning and behavior change through the sharing of experiences, perspective taking, and prosocial mechanics.
