The longest-running applied test of the thesis: a browser extension whose colour, pacing and break rhythm respond to the person in front of the screen instead of demanding their attention.
Somatic AI angle — The interface responds to breath and physiological rhythm in real time.
What it is
- Bio-personalised screen colour filters that reduce visual strain.
- Guided microbreaks — breathwork, movement and attention resets — timed to the working session rather than the clock.
- Ambient sound and self-tracking for digital-wellbeing habits.
Who it is for
- Employers looking to reduce screen fatigue across a distributed workforce.
- Wellbeing and people teams evaluating a low-friction, no-hardware intervention.
- Individuals who spend most of their working day on a screen.
