Yauga wanted to take their immersive wellbeing experience beyond the app and website and into something truly unique. The concept was simple but brilliant - give universities a dedicated meditation space inside a 3D space where students could come together for guided sessions as part of their onboarding experience. With our connections already established with Portals, it made perfect sense to use them!

Building a space that needed to feel genuinely calming while also working as a functional live environment inside Portals was an interesting challenge. It couldn't just look good in screenshots, it had to feel right when people were actually inside it.

We modelled the space in Blender, centred around a serene outdoor meditation area with a lily pond, warm timber decking and soft natural light. At the heart of it sits a circular platform where a stylised MetaHuman figure strikes a yoga pose, grounding the space with a sense of purpose and practice without it feeling clinical or corporate. Once built, the space was hosted inside Portals and used for live group sessions with real students.

The result is somewhere that genuinely feels like a place you'd want to sit and breathe for a few minutes. Which, when you're welcoming students into university life for the first time, is exactly the point.

 
 

The space was used for live guided meditation sessions with students from Warwick University, giving Yauga a genuinely novel way to deliver their experience and giving universities something they could offer as part of onboarding that nobody else was doing. Immersive wellbeing in the most literal sense!
