SinkInSync: Biofeedback VR Experience for Remote Social Connectedness – VIRTUAL

June 10, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

SinkInSync: Biofeedback VR Experience for Remote Social Connectedness – VIRTUAL | San Francisco Design Week Virtual Event

SinkInSync presents the design and prototype of a VR-based cross-person EEG neurofeedback platform. This generative VR platform uses one user’s brainwave data to procedurally render 3D scenes and passively displays visual cues that are synchronized with the real-time brainwave frequency to another user. With the platform, we aim to explore the potential of VR as an avenue for augmenting cognitive and emotional social connectedness via externally-induced brainwave synchronization between pairs of individuals. In this session, we will be sharing both the experience live and the process behind the creation. We will also share our perspectives on the potential of emerging technologies in fostering interpersonal connections without using the common tool of speech and how the usage of biometric data could add to the channels of communication and help improve accessibility.
