Hi, I'm Dieter, the developer behind Viativity.
Viativity isn't an app from a huge tech corporation, and I'm not a classic software developer either. I built this project purely out of personal interest in my free time to create a fair, completely ad-free app for travelers. My goal was a smart tool that focuses on the essentials and is completely intuitive to use, especially in restless moments.
Radically simple out of conviction
During development, one thing was particularly important to me: When you suddenly feel sick in the car or stress builds up before a flight, nobody has the patience for complex menus. That's why I intentionally kept the app extremely clear and dispensed with any unnecessary frills. Everything is designed to give you exactly the immediate help you need in your current situation without detours.
How it all started
The idea was born out of fascination with how strongly motion sickness (kinetosis) can cloud a vacation – be it car sickness on winding roads, seasickness on a ship, or inner restlessness during a fear of flying. An article in the newspaper 20 Minuten about the soothing effect of a 100Hz tone on the balance system inspired me so much that I decided to build my own wellness app using artificial intelligence (AI).
However, I quickly realized: A single tool isn't enough for comprehensive immediate help. So I researched intensively: What other scientifically described methods are there that support processing conflicting sensory impressions better while traveling?
The result is the tools and curated travel tips you find in Viativity today. My focus as a hobby developer is 100% on a fair product that supports you as a smart companion, hides no subscription traps, and absolutely respects your privacy.
On my social media channels (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube), I show you clearly how Viativity works in practice. There you will find practical approaches and visual explanations on how to optimally use the tools on your travels. You can find the links at the very bottom of this page.
Your feedback drives me
If Viativity has helped you to gently fade out car sickness, to look out at the sea relaxed again on a ferry, or to experience your flight more lightheartedly, I would be absolutely thrilled about a short review – you can do this easily right in the app. Do you have suggestions, wishes, or criticism? Feel free to drop me a message anytime via the support link below.
Transparency
A modern project like Viativity is created today through the interplay of human creativity and innovative tools. So that you know exactly how the app was created, here is a completely open look behind the scenes:
- Concept & Development: The ideas, the scientific research, and the overall concept come from me. I was supported by artificial intelligence during the technical implementation, programming, and text design.
- Design & Graphics: The illustrations and visual elements were partly generated with AI support to create a consistent, soothing experience for your wellbeing.
- Audio Content: While the technical frequencies (like the 100Hz modulation) are generated directly in the app, the atmospheric background sounds come from the great open-source community freesound.org.
- Localization: To make Viativity accessible to as many people as possible, I used artificial intelligence for translations into other languages. Since I don't speak these languages myself, the direct benefit for you was my priority – and not a flawless translation. Please overlook any linguistic bumps along the way!
Support Viativity
I believe in fair software without subscriptions. If the app helps you and you appreciate my project, I would be absolutely thrilled about a virtual coffee to go!
