Nebula: Artistic Somaesthetic Appreciation with Biosignals in Virtual Reality
Paper in proceeding, 2022

The combination of Virtual Reality and Biosignals is a developing area of research, and a design space with promising possibilities and implications for art and creativity. In this demonstration, we focus on supporting an engaging personal creative experience in Virtual Reality, making use of respiration, heart-rate, and gestures. The interactive modalities afford a new medium for art-making, and are potentially conducive to well-being. Our interactive experience stems from a Research through Design process and informed by Soma Design, interviews with artists, and preliminary user studies. We present Nebula - an immersive VR experience aimed at supporting a user's somaesthetic appreciation and well-being.
