Look Up Zones
In a world of endless pings, Humana restores what matter
Imagine cafés, parks, and offices where connection feels easy again. You walk into your favorite coffee shop, it’s buzzing with quiet energy, but somehow it feels calm. As you cross the threshold, your phone gently dims. Notifications hush. The digital noise that follows you everywhere fades into the background. You look up and so does everyone else.
Humana has activated a Look Up Zone.
Without needing to silence your phone or turn anything off manually, you're now in a space designed for presence. The people around you: strangers, friends, coworkers are synced with the same ambient calm. The tech fades away, and the human moment re-emerges.
What it does
Creates physical sanctuaries where attention is restored, naturally. Devices soften, distractions pause, and collective presence becomes easier.
How it works
Geofencing and environmental sensors detect when you enter a Look Up Zone. Your device enters ambient mode, and nearby Humana-enabled devices quietly sync.
Scroll Tax
Helping people notice when they’ve slipped into digital autopilot.
You’ve been scrolling for a while. At first, it felt good catching up, relaxing. But slowly, without realizing it, the scroll became something else. Numbness. Distraction. Escape. And then Humana notices. A soft nudge appears:
“Take a 45-minute reset?”
“Pay a Scroll Tax to fund local calm spaces?”
“Donate attention instead?”
No guilt. No judgment. Just an invitation to reclaim your time or channel it into something better. You take the pause. And the moment becomes yours again.
What it does
Turns passive scrolling into mindful choice. You stay in control but now you notice when you’ve slipped into autopilot.
How it works
Humana tracks low-engagement behavior across major apps. After ~30 minutes of passive use, it prompts you with three paths: pause, pay, or donate helping you reframe screen time as intentional time.
The Social Buffer
Protect the moment. Together.
You’re out with friends laughing, eating, sharing stories. But one by one, phones come out. The moment begins to fade. Then… a gentle prompt appears on everyone’s screen:
“Pause together for 30 minutes?”
A single tap.
All devices shift into Buffer Mode...screens dim, notifications off. A shared timer appears: time to be here.
Suddenly, the air feels lighter. The conversation deepens. No one’s checking out. You’re all in it fully, completely, together.
What it does
Detects when people are gathered in person and offers a shared pause. Creates a digital “quiet room” to protect real-world energy.
How it works
Proximity, movement, and audio cues tell Humana when people are engaging in physical social settings. It sends a synced group prompt to activate Buffer Mode collectively.
Holographic Globe
Connection you can feel.
You’re far from home. It’s been a hard day, and you wish you could just sit across from someone who understands. Not through a flat, pixelated screen. You don’t want a Zoom call you want presence.
So you activate Holographic Globe.
In a soft glow, your friend appears seated beside you in your quiet apartment, not in 2D, but in light and space. You talk. Laugh. Pause.
They shift in their seat. You see them breathe. You feel like you're together.
And when the conversation winds down, the hologram fades gently, respectfully. As if the moment was never digital at all.
Why Humana
In a world of endless pings, Humana restores what matter
In a world of constant pings, endless feeds, and blurred lines between work and life, Humana is the quiet technology we didn’t know we needed. Like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, it runs silently in the background of all devices phones, wearables, networks, gently reshaping how we engage with tech and each other.
It’s not an app. It’s not a setting. It’s a silent safeguard for your attention, your presence, and your emotional health.
How Humana Works
The 4 Pillars of Humana
Humana uses sensors, context (like time, location, and usage patterns), and soft AI to detect when you're most vulnerable to digital fatigue. It then gently activates one of four core systems designed to support wellbeing in the moment.
What it does
Replaces draining video calls with embodied, projected presence helping people feel seen and supported from a distance.
How it works
Humana uses AR projectors and smart surfaces to generate light-based holograms during key emotional moments. Activated in supported spaces like homes, cafés, or Look Up Zones.
Together, these four systems form a loop of digital restoration
Scroll Tax builds self-awareness by helping users pause and reflect before they burn out.
Look Up Zones create physical sanctuaries for digital calm and intentional gathering.
The Social Buffer protects real-world social energy through collective pauses.
Holographic Globe supports remote emotional connection when physical presence isn't possible.
Each one solves for a different modern harm like distraction, boundary erosion, emotional disconnection but all are interconnected under the Humana system.
