数字技术已经完全融入了我们的日常生活，然而，技术在提高用户生活满意度方面的潜力在很大程度上仍未得到开发。正念是一种有意识地、不加评判地关注当下的行为，已被证明对一个人的健康和主观幸福感（通常被称为“幸福”）有积极影响。基于与冥想老师和实践者的反复过程，我们设计了一个新的工具来支持正念练习。该工具采用增强沙盒的形状，旨在激发用户的自我激励和好奇心。通过塑造沙子，用户创造了一个活生生的微型世界，并将其投射回沙子上。花园的自然元素与实时生理测量相连接，例如呼吸，帮助用户专注于身体。此外，使用虚拟现实耳机，他们可以在花园里进行专门的冥想。初步结果似乎表明，该系统非常适合正念，并诱导用户进入平静和正念状态。冥想老师设想在他们的练习中使用内园。
Digital technology has been completely integrated into our daily lives, yet the potential of technology to improve its users' life satisfaction is still largely untapped. Mindfulness, the act of paying a deliberate and non-judgmental attention to the present moment, has been shown to have a positive impact on a person's health and subjective well-being--commonly called "happiness". Based on an iterative process with meditation teachers and practitioners, we designed a new tool to support mindfulness practices. This tool takes the shape of an augmented sandbox, designed to inspire the user's self-motivation and curiosity. By shaping the sand, the user creates a living miniature world that is projected back onto the sand. The natural elements of the garden are connected to real-time physiological measurements, such as breathing, helping the user to stay focused on the body. Moreover, using a Virtual Reality headset, they can travel inside their garden for a dedicated meditation session. Preliminary results seem to indicate that the system is well suited for mindfulness and induces a calm and mindful state on the user. The meditation teachers envisioned the use of Inner Garden in their practice.
