This document describes an audiovisual experience designed to help users find inner peace and equilibrium. The experience uses motion tracking and interactive screens/sounds to either mirror a calm, still state or introduce imbalance, depending on whether the user maintains a balanced posture. When balanced, the screens display soothing nature scenes and sounds, but any movement creates visual/audio disruptions intended to encourage stillness. The goal is to experience a tranquil, meditative state through finding and keeping composure.

Editor's Notes
- Basically I’ll develop my midterm project with extended concept. I personally prefer living in peace and tranquility to dynamic. But, as you know, in reality, I have imbalanced shoulders and my mind is easily disturbed by little stimulus.
- This is my favorite quote. And I believe any disturbance to the body's state of equilibrium can produce stress. In other way, inner peace is helpful to maintain your health
- Equilibrium is a space to keep your composure
- This space is to experience motionless and stillness time. So, user can have time to sit down to try and recover their equilibrium.
- My main theme for design is gonna be water as same as midterm. The reason is why A slight air movement can ripple the quiet surface of the pond. I want to use a metaphor of water to represent the perfect balance. That’s why I visualized water surface for my shoulder balance for the first time.
- To force people try to keep still and balance, I’ll maximize the sound effect in this time. When user firstly come into the equilibrium, there will be really loud noise so user do something to escape from noisy situation. Once user start to still and balance, there will be whole new different environment, really calm and peaceful moment.
