The Metaverse

Connect with your transformative potential

From the very beginning of our journey, we understood that a smartphone app could only go so far in fostering meaningful emotions like happiness. After all, happiness is meant to be felt on a deeper, embodied level—through sight, sound, touch, and other senses that bring the experience to life.

When designing our wellyou programs, we dreamed of a world where well-being wasn’t just something you learned about but something you fully experienced. Imagine holograms of renowned researchers popping out of your smartphone or watch to explain a Weekly Theme, or treasures unlocked during a walk from the Essential Training, motivating you to move more (think Pokémon Go-style).

Now, with advancements in augmented, virtual, and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR), that dream is taking shape. These technologies allow us to take our science-based programs and values and elevate them into dynamic, interactive environments that spark connection, growth, and self-discovery like never before.

Imagine this…

After a long day, you put on your headset and step into a magical world. The sun warms your face as the sounds of nature surround you—birds singing, waves gently lapping against the shore, a soft breeze rustling through the trees. In front of you, vibrant landscapes stretch into the horizon: majestic mountains, serene forests, and colorful meadows. A winding path invites you to leave your worries behind and move forward.

As you walk, you come to a fork in the road. There are two ways to reach the Happy Nation city: through the Forest of Wisdom or over the Mountains of Enlightenment. You choose the forest, its familiar scenery stirring childhood memories of building camps with your best friend. “Maybe I’ll call him and plan a walk this Sunday,” you think.

Along the way, you encounter characters (check out the boatman’s hut below who wasn’t home that day) and objects designed to help you gain new perspectives, release stress, and return to the present moment. 

As the forest clears, a vibrant city comes into view, brimming with possibilities. Within its many buildings, you’ll find spaces to relax and unwind with yoga or meditation, read books for personal growth, explore breathtaking art galleries, play games, learn new skills, connect with like-minded individuals, and so much more.

We’ve always dreamed of creating something more—a way to approach well-being in transformative and innovative ways. The Happy Nation Metaverse takes that vision further, transcending traditional technology to offer a fully immersive journey of self-discovery and personal growth. It’s a space where you can connect deeply with the transformative potential of Happy Nation—and with yourself.

The Happy Nation Metaverse is currently being prototyped using Unity and Unreal Engine.
