Viscereality: Empirical Validation of a Bioresponsive Virtual-Reality Breathing Environment with Dynamic Particle-Driven Aesthetics to Improve Box Breathing and Modulate Altered States of Consciousness

A bioresponsive virtual-reality breathing environment with dynamic particle-driven aesthetics improves box breathing and modulates altered states of consciousness. The environment, which responds to users' breathing patterns, was empirically validated to enhance the practice of box breathing and influence subjective experiences of consciousness. The findings suggest that such bioresponsive VR systems can effectively support breathing techniques and alter conscious states.
