nyma

nyma is an ambient intelligence space installation concept that reacts to movement of the user through immersive visual and sound effects and lets them reach a "flow" state. "flow", also known as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.

Concept

Though the immersive experience the the user is able to learn subconsciously new movements and can train in the perfect state of mind. Every movement is reflected visually within the system and processed to give a response or challenge him through a more motivating music or game elements. The visuals are mapped perfectly onto the 270° thorugh rear projection and a kinect is tracking every movement of the user.
At the same time he is wearing a mindwave with an additional pulse sensor. Therefor we also implemented a machine learning algorithm to analyze the tracked data and create a suitable response. This Proof of Concept was developed fully in vvvv and is showing how the future of sports and personal development can look like. We used a ..

• Mindwave EEG Sensor for concentration and focus
• Pulse sensor for endurance and exhaustion measurement
• Kinect motion sensor for movement and interaction
