This project aims to mitigate the negative impact of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) by promoting mental wellness through a playful and emotional product, the Tree Hollow, comprising a device and software. The device listens to user confessions, records them, and uses AI to summarize and extract emotions and life details into a report. This report is then delivered to the user via a letter through the App.
Tree Hollow integrates mindfulness and self-talk to help those affected by FoMO refocus on themselves in an era of pervasive digital media and shrinking social distances. By discussing daily life and reflecting on report feedback, users are encouraged to focus more on their personal lives, growth, and needs, thereby boosting their self-esteem. This helps users appreciate the richness of their own lives.
Below is a showcase of how I identified the problem; the inspirations from the initial concept phase; offline research; idea development; model making; product iterations; and the entire problem-solving process.
Tree Hollow is honored to be one of Rocket Finalists 2024
