All Here’s mission is to modernize and spread meditation across society by bridging research, design, and expertise in contemplative practices to empower inner-existence and fulfillment.
How it all began
In 2022, EPFL Prof Olaf Blanke & All Here Founder Erkin Bek joined forces to develop the “Home Within” Meditation Platform powered by Mixed Reality Technology — pledging to study its impact on the brain using advanced tools of neuroscience and neurotechnology.
Research
3-year collaborative research
This pledge was transformed into a three-year collaborative research study by All Here and the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience of EPFL.

Research focus
Home Within Mixed Reality Meditation Platform
Experienced meditators often describe the feeling: the “I” becomes lighter, less anchored to thoughts or the body. Measuring this scientifically is not straightforward — but we set out to do it.
Using Virtual Reality (VR), participants meditated from two perspectives:
First-person perspective (1PP)
Seeing through one’s own eyes.
Third-person perspective (3PP)
Observing oneself from the outside.
The effects were immediate.
Meditation in the third-person perspective was associated with
These findings provide data linking meditation to the neuroscience of self and hint at how VR could potentially provide access to inward-focused meditative states, enabling novice and intermediate practitioners to engage fully with their own sense of being.

Immersive extended-reality meditation sessions, combined with our mobile app, for a complete meditation practice ecosystem.
A fixed mixed-reality platform designed for self and inward-directed meditation experiences — enhancing attention and self-awareness through mind-body connection and the reduction of mental noise.
A seamlessly crafted environment in which you become the main actor in a serene guided meditation experience.
With subtle haptic feedback and binaural audio soundscape to deepen immersion.
Real-time body reconstruction so you become the object of focus in our Self-Attention Perspective mode.
In SAP mode, you become the object of focus — observing your own meditating body from the outside through real-time volumetric reconstruction.
An invitation to shift perspective on yourself, deepening the bridge between body, mind and the practice of attention.

Zenbu Koko ("All Here" in Japanese) is a mixed-reality meditation platform that serves as a threshold between the real world and the participant's inner atmosphere.
Philosophy
Extended Reality · 非物質化
In collaboration with All Here, Kengo Kuma extends his philosophy to the virtual
realm — designing an XR meditation installation that enhances attention and
Stability of the Mind.
Inside the dome, immersive landscapes — forests, skies and outer cosmic space —
dissolve the boundary between self and environment. A non-materialised atmosphere,
where matter, light and silence converge.
Experience
Installation
The architecture dissolves into atmosphere — wood, light and immersion converge to invite the practitioner inward, where the experience becomes more than the sum of its parts.
Zenbu Koko — Visual Concept
Zenbu Koko merges neuroscience, technology, design and contemplative practice — inspired by geodesic forms and Kuma's ethos of contrast, immersion and interconnectedness.
