“…This is always present due to refraction of light at the air-water boundary but may be worsened underwater due to limited light penetration at depth or opacity from particles and dissolved materials [67,135]. Immersion in water changes the "forces" experienced by a user [134], resulting in "pressure" increasing with depth [55] to ofset gravity with "buoyancy" [3,25,34,67,102,113]. Without the need to support oneself on the ground and a general "lack of obstacles" around them, people have more "freedom of movement" [5] while immersed in water.…”

Aquatic recreation encompasses a variety of water-based activities from which participants gain physical, mental, and social benefts. Although interactive technologies for supporting aquatic recreation activities have increased in recent years, the HCI community does not yet have a structured understanding of approaches to interaction design for aquatic recreation. To contribute towards such an understanding, we present the results of a systematic review of 48 papers on the design of interactive technology for aquatic recreation, drawn from the ACM, IEEE, and SPORTDiscus libraries. This review presents an aquatic recreation user experience framework that details problems and opportunities concerning water and HCI. Our framework brings us closer to understanding how technology can interact with users and the aquatic environment to enhance the existing recreational experiences that connect us to aquatic environments. We found that designers can elicit delight, enablement, challenge, and synergy in aquatic recreation experiences.

“…One such method is using water currents, either applied externally (jets) or applied via an aquatic jetpack worn by the user. Promising research has shown an ability to take flow measurements using transparent tracer particles [Yamashita et al 2018], which would have great utility for tracking any sort of underwater movement experienced. Another possibility is using humans to provide feedback, as demonstrated in previous research [Cheng et al 2014].…”

During terrestrial activities, sensation of pressure on the skin and tension in muscles and joints provides information about how the body is oriented relative to gravity and how the body is moving relative to the surrounding environment. In contrast, in aquatic environments when suspended in a state of neutral buoyancy, the weight of the body and limbs is offloaded, rendering these cues uninformative. It is not yet known how this altered sensory environment impacts virtual reality experiences. To investigate this question, we converted a full-face SCUBA mask into an underwater head-mounted display and developed software to simulate jetpack locomotion outside the International Space Station. Our goal was to emulate conditions experienced by astronauts during training at NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab. A user study was conducted to evaluate both sickness and presence when using virtual reality in this altered sensory environment. We observed an increase in nausea related symptoms underwater, but we cannot conclude that this is due to VR use. Other measures of sickness and presence underwater were comparable to measures taken above water. We conclude with suggestions for improved underwater VR systems and improved methods for evaluation of these systems based on our experience.
