Healium 4+

I’ve been trying to use the Vision Pro helium version. It says to open the Watch app for the Apple Watch but gives no instructions on how to find it. There is an app called helium smartwatch app but I open it and it says please add hot spot. the helium app on the Vision Pro or my iPhone never find the watch.

Images are very blurry on the Vision Pro.

Sorry you're having trouble. Let's get that fixed for you. First off, let's make sure you're using the right app. :) Search HEALium not Helium in the app store. 2. Please update your Healium app to the latest version. You'll find the experience resolutions have been upgraded to take better advantage of Apple Vision Pro capabilities. 3. When you download the Healium app, the Apple Watch Healium app will automatically be downloaded to your Apple Watch app. If you don't find it on your Apple Watch, we're happy to help! Just email us at hello@tryhealium.com . We also have a searchable FAQ that lists some common fixes with Apple Watch settings. https://www.tryhealium.com/faq/ Thanks again for giving Healium a try!

I’m a veteran and saw this app in the Stories section today. Decided to try it out, and am coming away very underwhelmed.

The Butterfly meditation is easily the worse of the two currently available. The leaves on the bush (tree? green twig?) pop in and out jarringly during the experience, and some only seem to exist when viewed from certain angles. Then, after hatching one butterfly (and several others that don’t hatch but just appear from nothing) the narrator’s voice starting pausing the spa music every few seconds like a train conductor, repeating the same phrase over and over again. That, and the fact that it’s never quite clear what you’re doing, are very frustrating.

The other meditation, about the Solar System, is similarly vague about how it works. Are you “lighting up the universe” or is that light level the exact same at the end as it was at the beginning? Are you making butterflies grow or are they spontaneously appearing on a timer? My understanding from the Apple Story about this was that your biofeedback would produce an immediately visible reaction in the AR world. It’s what sold me on the app. Unfortunately, that great pitch is not well realized here.

Hopefully the devs get an influx of cash and use it to flesh this app out. Right now it feels cheap, like it’s held together with spit and bubblegum.

Edit: There was a "family sharing bug" where some users couldn't access our full app. Were you able to try our update? Thanks for the feedback and for your service. You can adjust difficulty settings so the experience doesn't stop and start so much by clicking the settings wheel. Your heart rate or brain patterns are like a gas pedal, stopping and starting the experience. It may feel awkward at first. This might help: https://www.tryhealium.com/faq Here's a video: https://youtu.be/c4zfgPEfNfI . We're working on alternatives to stop/start and would love to get your suggestions. Please email us at hello@tryhealium.com. If you lower your heart rate and the waveform goes above the threshold line, the planets light up. But If your heart rate goes up and your'e not meeting your threshold, the planets darken. It's similar with the Brainlink Lite headband. If your feelings of "quiet mind" for instance are meeting the mark and are above the threshold and calm, butterflies hatch out of the chrysalis. Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. If you email us at hello@tryhealium.com we'd also like to learn which iphone and which wearable you're using so we can troubleshoot. We appreciate the time you took to explain to us how we can make the experience better. Thank you for your service. You might also check out the free versions of our apps with a program called Honor Everywhere which provides virtual tours to aging Veterans unable to physically travel to see their memorials. Search "Honor Everywhere" in the app store.

Mental fitness & emotional regulation training is a great use for augmented reality, and it’s apps like this one that are really starting to pave the way for an AR-centric future. The Healium app gives you the ability to finally master the art of stress control and management all in real-time. There’s an extremely handy tutorial when you first start the app, and the additional wearable component really brings your feelings and mental state to life in a way I’ve never experienced before! Incredible! Really recommend this to anyone looking to improve their mental resilience in a fun yet educational way!

Wow thanks for the love! Right back at ya.
