BioFlockVR: exploring visual entrainment through amorphous nature phenomena in bio-responsive multi-immersant VR interactives

Abstract

In this paper we present our bio-responsive virtual reality (VR) experience that explores visual forms of entrainment through amorphous nature-inspired phenomena that evolves and reacts to a tightly coupled real-virtual immersive space controlled through two immersants' physiological data. Multiple layers of real-time visuals inspired by nature phenomena are generated in 3D the experiential VR space which are controlled through two immersants' EEG, heart rate and gestures in real-time. In this paper, we present our system framework and setup and present our work-in-progress prototype.
