Project (PRID302)

Mediaura Visualisation

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.
