empathy virtual reality social research user experience (ux) design algorithms artificial intelligence innovation psychologyThe goal of this project is to design, refine, and showcase a functional prototype of Compoda – an immersive digital well-being platform that empowers users through emotional support, creativity, and personalized experiences.
Students will contribute to both the interactive design and development of core features (e.g. modular “door” system, emotional onboarding, mood-based experiences) and to strategic positioning as we prepare for our MVP launch.
We are now entering a crucial phase: With an MVP nearly complete, we need additional support to refine our branding, business model, user acquisition strategy, and marketing roadmap.
The project offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of UX/UI design, digital health, emotional technology, and product strategy – all in a startup preparing to go to market.
