INFINITO: a seated, hands-only session for calm and focus, morning or evening (Productivity track) + playtest link

Breathe. The room opens.

Hi everyone. I'm a solo developer, and INFINITO is my entry for the Start Developer Competition: Productivity track, New Experience, built with IWSDK and tested on a Quest 3S since early October.

The problem

In Gallup's 2025 world survey, 36% of adults said they had felt stress during a lot of the previous day. Among people with a job it was 40%. INFINITO is my attempt at a pause for that kind of day.

What the research says

Studies of how people calm down keep pointing at slow breathing and at nature. A 2023 meta-analysis of 12 randomized trials found breathing practice linked to lower self-reported stress, a small to medium effect. A 2026 meta-analysis of 39 randomized trials found virtual reality sessions, about half of them nature scenes, linked to lower perceived stress than a neutral control, in other VR programs.

None of these studies tested INFINITO, and I promise no result. They are what I designed it around.

What INFINITO is

A seated session for calm and focus, hands only, seven or ten minutes, morning or evening. It aims for the feeling of sitting somewhere quiet in nature, brought into your own room.

You pinch Begin, and INFINITO, a figure of light, greets you. Seven hand shapes wake seven instruments, and each one opens a window of sky in your walls. A tree of light grows from your floor, with plants and pools of water around it. Fireflies come in through the windows; butterflies and hummingbirds come closer when you are still.

The tree, the plants, the fireflies and the sky all breathe at one slow pace, four seconds in and six out. You can fall into it. With the microphone on, your own exhale unfolds INFINITO and opens a window of sky in your wall.

Since I started using it, each session I have done has left me with a calm I recognize from meditation. That is my own experience as its maker, not a promise, and yours may be different. INFINITO is a pause for calm and focus, not a treatment.

Try it

https://bleiquelc.github.io/

Open the link in the headset browser, sit down and pinch Begin. No controllers and no account. The microphone is optional: it only measures the loudness of your breath, and audio is never recorded, stored or sent. If your headset has a room scan, the tree stands on your real floor and the windows open in your real walls. It also runs without one.

The link opens with six of the seven pools of water already filled. Wake all seven instruments, the gong last, and near the end of the session a key of light appears in front of you. Touch it with a fingertip to fill the last pool.

What I would love to hear

  1. Your room: did the tree stand on your floor, and did the windows sit on your walls?
  2. Your breath: with the microphone on, did your first exhale unfold INFINITO and open a window of sky in your wall?
  3. Your hands: which of the seven shapes was hard to copy from its card?
  4. Your headset (Quest 3 or 3S), and any moment where the picture stuttered.
  5. One word for how you felt when the room came back.

I am happy to try your build on my Quest 3S in return: reply with your link.

Thank you!

    Update: INFINITO now has its own address (below). The old link still works, and both serve the new build from 14 November.

    In the Playtesting Playground of 13 November, INFINITO seemed to open in a generic room instead of the tester's own walls. I can't tell what happened on that headset, but I have since found a bug that may explain it, and fixed it:

    • If the headset's permission prompt was declined or closed before being allowed, INFINITO asked for less of the room on each new try and could end up without it, even in a scanned room. Now the next try asks for the whole room again.
    • After Begin, a new card, "Made for mixed reality", offers to scan the room from inside (about a minute) or to continue.

    To whoever ran it that day: thank you. If you try it again, I would love to hear whether your own walls open.

    Separately, @steve40: I read your test notes on the other hands-only WebXR entries here. If you have ten minutes, I would be grateful for the same eyes on INFINITO. It only starts in the headset browser (on a desktop, Begin just points you there, after a few dark seconds). I have only tested it on my own Quest 3S, so a run on a Quest 3 would tell me a lot.
