| DESIGN NAME: Music Zen - Relaxing Sounds PRIMARY FUNCTION: Mobile Application INSPIRATION: Music Zen was designed to help people cope with the pace of modern city life. The app is aimed at anyone subject to stress, seeking to add more mindfulness into their everyday routine helping them find and maintain balance. Our goal was to create a simple, yet effective and professionally designed tool to reduce daily stress, help fight insomnia and anxiety, and become more mindful throughout the day. A single tap might be the first step on a long beautiful journey to ones self. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The app focuses on three primary features: meditation, relaxing scenes and sounds, and mini games. Each section offers a spectrum of practices to relieve and relax the user. Breathing exercises encourage instant calm and help the user find balance. The gaming mode allows users to create melodies with a variety of instruments and sounds known for their soothing properties. Daily meditation practices encourage users to develop a balanced mindset and learn how to maintain it effectively. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The app was developed as a result of an extensive research into how people recharge. The UI of the main screen invites users to choose an activity according to their current emotional state. For the Play section, we chose specific instruments including Koto and Shakuhachi for users to create calming music. In the Relax section, aesthetically pleasing videos were crafted to provide an escape to nature. For the Meditate section, we selected breathing exercises and multipurpose guided meditations. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The app was released in the App Store in May 2018 and is available worldwide. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The UX and UI of the app were primarily designed in Sketch and Principle. The animation was created in Adobe After Effect. All musical effects and compositions were recorded in a professional recording studio, then handed to the development team. The app was built using Swift. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The app is available for all iOS devices. TAGS: mobile, iPhone, iOS, meditation, relaxation, wellness RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We wanted to make technology work as a solution to stress, rather than being a cause of it. All of our mini-games and exercises are based on scientific findings to ensure the best results. One of them is the usage of pink noise, a combination of sounds with varied frequencies that help reduce brain wave complexity and create a better atmosphere for work and relaxation. CHALLENGE: An app designed for stress relief should never create frustration with poor navigation or an overabundance of features. We strove to create an intuitive UX solution with an unobtrusive UI allowing users to start relaxing from the moment they open the app. We integrated picturesque backgrounds to immerse users into an atmosphere of harmony within nature. Further to this, we added unique melodies, created in collaboration with professional musicians, to aid relaxation, meditation, and sleep.
