This project seeks to study the of the use of biofeedback as an alternative form of human-computer interface, but in particular as a method of enhancing a user’s sense of connection or embodiment in virtual activities. To explore this I have taken an existing virtual activity which could be described as a process that is isolated from the user (in the sense that interaction is essentially non-existent) and have used biofeedback to transform it into a biomorphic virtual environment where the user becomes a necessary component of it.

Easter sunday around the scout hut SW of Burrator: And the following Sunday, up around Merrivale and Woodtown: Both views showing North Hessary [...]

A possible means of measuring a specific resistance of an unknown component, skin for instance is to use a Wheatstone Bridge. Basically by measuring current across the centre of the bridge, and comparing the difference between one side which is a known value, the resistance of the unknown component can be obtained. If the unknown and known resistances were the same, then a current of 0V would flow through the centre.
