València, . yeshcube presents VVAVVE, a portable wellbeing mask designed to facilitate brief periods of calm and mental clarity without relying on screens or notifications. The device combines light blocking, immersive audio and Somia, a conversational artificial intelligence system focused on emotional wellbeing that guides structured sessions lasting between 5 and 20 minutes.
VVAVVE is based on a specific premise: many people try to disconnect by using mobile applications and remain exposed to additional digital stimuli. The proposal moves the experience away from the screen and concentrates it within an enclosed physical and auditory environment, with the aim of reducing technological friction and supporting emotional regulation in everyday situations. It is designed for moments such as before sleep, between meetings, after a demanding day or while traveling.
An audio-centered experience
The product is designed around simple interaction. The user puts on the mask, starts a session and remains in an immersive sound environment accompanied by Somia’s guidance. The experience can be entirely audio-based or include conversational interaction, depending on the user’s preference and the purpose of the session.
“VVAVVE was born from research focused on addressing a specific problem: the absence of genuine spaces for pause in everyday life,” says Mario Pérez, CEO of yeshcube. “We found that technology, even when it is intended to help, often introduces additional stimuli. VVAVVE’s design reduces that load and provides a contained environment where audio and conversation support emotional regulation.”
Privacy is part of the product’s design. Somia includes an optional memory that can personalize sessions based on preferences and previous use. This memory remains under the user’s control, allowing the information to be reviewed, modified or deleted. Sessions are not stored as recordings, and the system avoids collecting data unrelated to the user experience.
Development and initial validation
The development of VVAVVE and Somia has included work with academic specialists in wellbeing and applied psychology. According to yeshcube, pilot testing showed improvements in perceived stress and feelings of mental clarity after brief sessions, together with high levels of participant acceptance. These findings come from pilot testing and do not in themselves constitute evidence of clinical effectiveness.
VVAVVE is the first device to receive Somia Within certification, yeshcube’s own framework for verifying experience, privacy and evidence-level criteria in products that integrate conversational artificial intelligence.
