Gamification and virtual reality (VR) are increasingly being explored for their potential to enhance mindful practices well-being. We further explore the of gamification VR breath awareness mindfulness, contribute Stairway Heaven, a artifact that combines with respiratory sensor biofeedback cultivate breathing. In our mixed-method study 21 participants, we evaluated usability effectiveness in promoting breathing frequencies between 4 10 breaths per minute (BPM). integrate breath-driven...
Virtual reality (VR) could increase access, improve effectiveness, and reduce costs for at-home physical rehabilitation. However, there are open questions regarding the design, development, usability of VR applications, particularly lower limb rehabilitation protocols. This work addresses data capture by developing testing a low-cost system in VR. Our prototype demonstrates viable design strategy creating an exercise paradigm capable tracking movement input from standing, seated, or supine...
