“…Multiple participants reported that "the immersion provoked a clear augmentation of motivation," that the fact "it was a game [he/she] was more involved and motivated to succeed" and that "the experiment seemed easier in VR." This is in accordance to the work of Weerdmeester et al (2017) and Prpa et al (2018). These results can also relate to the conclusions of Wollmann et al (2016) that games motivate players to engage and perform better in biofeedback training situations.…”

“…As demonstrated by the work of Weerdmeester et al (2017) and Prpa et al (2018), the sense of physiological self-efficacy influences the sense of agency in virtual environment. Moreover, it is interesting to note that the usage of biofeedback helps the users to gain a better control of their physiology, shifting their Locus of Control 1 to be more personal.…”

Effects of voluntary heart rate control on user engagement and agency in a virtual reality game

It has been demonstrated that virtual reality (VR) exposure can affect the subjective experience of different situations, cognitive capabilities or behavior. It is known that there is a link between a person's physiological state and their psychological self-report and user experience. As an immersive experience can affect users' physiological data, it is possible to adapt and enhance the content of a virtual environment in real-time base on physiological data feedback (biofeedback). With the rapid evolution of the physiological monitoring technologies, it is now possible to exploit different modalities of biofeedback, in a cheap and non-cumbersome manner, and study how they can affect user experience. While most of the studies involving physiological data use it as a measuring tool, we want to study its impact when direct and voluntary physiological control becomes a mean of interaction. To do so, we created a two-parts protocol. The first part was designed to categorize the participants on their heart rate control competency. In the second part of the study, we immersed our participants in a VR experience where they must control their heart rate to interact with the elements in the game. The results were analyzed based on the competency distribution. We observed consistent results between our competency scale and the participants' control of the biofeedback game mechanic. We also found that our direct biofeedback mechanic is highly engaging. We observed that it generated a strong feeling of agency, which is linked with users' level of heart rate control. We highlighted the richness of biofeedback as a direct game mechanic, prompting interesting perspective for personalized immersive experiences.

“…On the one hand, many commercial apps scaffold the integration of meditation as a regular daily practice, albeit they merely provide noninteractive audio-visual guidance which limitedly accounts for user's real-time performance [60]. On the other hand, most interactive technologies in HCI provide real-time feedback based on the changes in internal processes underpinning meditation, such as relaxation [48] or attention [53]. Still, the role of the human body in such designs has been limitedly explored [7,42], as the body has been mainly used to record physiological signals (e.g.…”

“…Examples range from ludic to functional. Ludic examples include Jenga [39], adaptive zombie games [18], VR lanscapes [65,80]; when the adaptation is subtle, immersive spaces provide implicit biofeedback [3,69]. At the practical end of the spectrum, neuro-adaptive technologies (i.e., based on brain activity) have been studied extensively for high-workload scenarios such as flight [8].…”
