So I built a VR app that shuts up. SilenceVR uses gaze tracking to detect distraction and guide you back to focus: no voice, no words, just a pulsating obelisk and some orbs with boundary issues and ofc fake physics (the best part of VR). The environment went through a Dalí phase, a Rothko phase, and has settled into what I'm calling a James Turrell situation, all thanks to Gemini which also wrote the the attention tracking/behavior scripts for the orbs and obelisk's breathing. The business case is spiritual and religious wellness communities — overlooked, flush, and arguably owed a win by the tech industry. Managed service, bundled hardware, and some genuinely interesting next step. And if it fails commercially but gets a 75 year old at a local church into a VR headset, I'll take it. PS: The attention tether is clearly not an obelisk anymore although it did start out as one, please pray for my neuroplasticity the next time you meditate.
