# CalmOn (캄온) — Online Temple Metaverse

> CalmOn (캄온, meaning 'switch calm on') is a free online temple metaverse (온라인 절 · 온라인절 · 산사 메타버스): a Korean mountain temple you walk in 3D in a web browser (iOS and Android apps in preparation). It is a calm space, not a game: there are no scores, levels or competition. It includes the Memorial Garden (추모의 정원), where people remember a pet that has died with a memorial stone and a tree. The temple inside the app is named Handeungsa (한등사 · 一燈寺). Made by Hyperity Inc. (주식회사 하이퍼리티), Korea.

## Places
- Great Buddha courtyard (큰 부처님 앞): the starting point, a great seated Buddha on the mountain. A forest path climbs from the One-Pillar Gate past the Heavenly Kings Gate, lotus pavilion and bell pavilion; there is a lotus pond with a pavilion and stepping stones, and a stone arch bridge (홍예교, called the Rainbow Bridge) over the valley.
- Lotus Temple (연꽃 절): a path across lotus fields to a Great Hall, with a teahouse, pavilion and templestay hall.
- Ginkgo Temple (은행나무 절): a valley forest path to a Main Hall in front of a thousand-year ginkgo tree, with a bell pavilion and teahouse.
- Seaside hermitage (바닷가 암자) and hillside rest stop (뒷산 쉼터).
- Lantern Yard (연등 마당): a night temple courtyard under hundreds of lotus lanterns with nonstop club music (CC BY tracks). Jump on the beat to rise higher each time — above the lanterns, over the mountains, up to space — where a gentle message appears in your language. No scores; a board shows today's highest jumps of people present.
- Seasons follow the Korean calendar: blossoms, summer green, autumn leaves, snow.

## What people do
- One-tap gestures: join palms (합장), bow (절), moktak (목탁), prayer beads (염주), sit.
- Strike the temple bell, light wish candles and lotus lanterns, water your own tree once a day, carry a daily fortune pouch.
- Moments at set times (Korea Standard Time): dawn moktak round 06:00, great lotus 07:30 and 17:00, evening bell 18:00, meteor shower 20:00 and 22:00 (you can send up a one-line wish).
- Photo sharing: portrait / story / wide frames, shared as a card with the place and date; the link opens at that spot.
- Others present are visible, but only set greetings can be exchanged (no free chat between people).

## Memorial Garden (추모의 정원, formerly 무지개 숲 / Rainbow Forest) — pet memorial
- Under the meeting tree, call your pet with one photo, its species (dog or cat) and a name. A memorial stone showing the photo, name, years together and one line takes its place along the garden path, with a tree growing beside it.
- Visitors can leave a candle, flowers or a short note. The owner can invite family to remember together.
- Memorial stones and trees never wither or disappear.
- Photos are redrawn on the device to remove location and camera data before upload, and are deleted with the pet or the account.

## AI conversation
- "Ask the Buddha" (부처님께 여쭙기) at the great Buddha and short talks with your pet in the Memorial Garden, a few times per day.
- Replies are generated with Google Vertex AI (Gemini). Message text is used only to create the reply and is not stored on the server; only a daily count is kept.
- Messages showing crisis are answered with Korean helpline information (109) instead of an AI reply.
