Expanding health, wellness, and consciousness in the metaverse
summary
Creators describe concrete work: classroom AR art that lights up from black‑and‑white and reaches over 1 million students and shows educators reporting 70% less bullying after a year; a camera‑based therapy app that uses computer vision on phones to capture objective movement data and deploys in pediatric hospitals and skilled‑nursing sites; a community game built from the Wheel of Awareness with focus‑group results on coping, and a vaccine‑prompting AR installation colocated with a vaccine unit leading to immediate uptake.
