What if health data felt less like numbers?I’m building AURA: a playful companion that reflects your health data, with a tiny island to explore inside the app.Early prototype, built with Codex + Blender.What would make you come back each day?

@prcncv The nightly voice journal is a clever way to add context without more forms. I'm also building my own app for Oura, turning health data into a companion and a small 3D world.

@SaezSofiane The hand-painted look feels really peaceful. I'm building a small 3D habitat for a health companion too. Is the plant growth animated in Blender, or driven by code in R3F?

[dongge xing @DonggeXing]

@velrino The scene looks beautifully crafted, especially the buildings. How did you get that level of detail? Did you give Codex lots of reference images and detailed descriptions?

[dongge xing @DonggeXing]

@LeoBuilds_ Give the AI a clear description of what you want and as many relevant references as possible.

@Abhijit_091 Building it and making it understandable are separate jobs.

@nizzyabi I like the “one night isn't a pattern” bit. I'm prototyping a companion driven by wearable data, and trying to avoid making a low score feel like failure. How are you deciding when to nudge vs suggest rest?

[dongge xing @DonggeXing]

Requires a wearable like Oura or apple watch

@Joi8g58 A tiny desk companion was my first thought. It could turn toward you when it's time for a break, then settle back down. Is the movement sensor-driven or running a preset sequence?

[dongge xing @DonggeXing]

@_mctrinh First, let AI come up with the perfect plan.

[dongge xing @DonggeXing]

@pootlepress Codex + Blender. I'm building a gamified way to turn health data from AI-powered devices into visual, interactive feedback.

[dongge xing @DonggeXing]

@Densitylucky I'm building AURA, where health data shapes a companion and a tiny island. AI helps me build it, but I still need to test whether people want to return once the novelty wears off. That's the part a polished demo can't tell me.

[dongge xing @DonggeXing]

@SpellInterview One thing I'd test in voice mode: the same technical answer spoken fluently vs. with pauses and an accent. Does it get the same key-point score? That would help non-native speakers trust the feedback.

@ericsonl_ The one-quote, one-question format sounds nicely contained. Have you considered a one-sentence mode for low-energy days? I'm building a health companion and wondering how to make a tiny check-in feel worthwhile without making it another task.

[dongge xing @DonggeXing]

Got bored of wearing the exact same Oura ring every day, so I DIY’d some ultra-thin skins for it.

@katiekschwartz Excessive focus on data can make me anxious. Often, the data does not match my subjective feelings.
