Title:


    Inner Activity

Presenter(s):



Description:


    Inner Activity is a multi-sensory virtual reality experience presented as a physical art installation. It combines interaction design and game technologies, sound healing and vibro-acoustic therapy techniques, physical set design, and concepts from meditation and spirituality. It utilizes the Oculus Rift and the SubPac, a tactile bass system for achieving whole body stimulation through synchronized audiovisual, haptic and olfactory feedback. This experience is a preliminary exploration into potential applications for using immersive virtual reality entertainment in healthcare, therapy and medicine.
