The Ocean’s Breath – Intercreate.org

This is a VR experiment in connecting to the spiritual power of the ocean through breath and biofeedback. The user’s breath will influence the rise and fall of waves on a twilight ocean scene, while an EEG device provides visual feedback on the user’s brain wave state. The purpose is to create a feedback loop where the user dives deeper and deeper into a trance-like state while feeling more and more connected to the spiritual power of the ocean. The digital medium will enable this to proliferate to those without access to the sea, while the sense of presence inherent in the VR medium provides a strong emotional bond to the experience.
