Mission Statement
-
Samadhi chair along with its simple mobile application is specially built to practice Vipassana meditation for home practitioners well versed with this method of meditation but ofcourse, novices are also welcome to adapt.
-
This product can be helpful to monks looking to attain total focus in an indoor cell encompassed with visionary, auditory and sensorial experience.
Problem Landscape
The current meditation practices available online do not integrate Vipassana style of meditation for which reason I created this application catering to vipassana mediation specifically. The online landscape is very competitive and this application does not promote any sort of competition but works on the principles where all other meditation applications are an army to spread mindfulness t.o people globally

Iconography
Simple line illustrative icons with a "bindu" like dot signifying Buddhism and also a dot represents a focal point hence the icons denote the same.
Color Analysis
Samadhi application uses different hues of brown as its colour scheme and no specific shade of brown since everything follows a gradient theme. This style holds a symbolic meaning that meditation is not something that fits within one parameter and hence not one shade of brown is used but many, keeping coherence in mind with 6 primary brown shades.
