Virtual Reality (VR) is now an affordable technology that is starting to penetrate the mass market. Providing accessible solutions to enhance VR experiences is crucial. In this paper, we consider a wearable solution as a mean of interaction in VR, to add a biofeedback mechanic. We hypothesized that the use of a biofeedback loop in a VR experience can enhance user engagement. We created a physiologically enhanced horror game coupled with a heart rate monitor smart wristband. We evaluated the players' engagement with and without biofeedback. We observed a high interest of the participants for biofeedback and highlighted higher engagement when the biofeedback mechanic was fully integrated in the experience.

“…Dey et al [9] more recently used physiology and VR to share emotional states between players and see how empathy affected user experience. By sharing physiological states and thus emotions between players in VR, they tried to study how it affected players' behavior in collaborative interfaces.…”

Augmented and Virtual Reality Evolution and Future Tendency

2020

Augmented reality and virtual reality technologies are increasing in popularity. Augmented reality has thrived to date mainly on mobile applications, with games like Pokémon Go or the new Google Maps utility as some of its ambassadors. On the other hand, virtual reality has been popularized mainly thanks to the videogame industry and cheaper devices. However, what was initially a failure in the industrial field is resurfacing in recent years thanks to the technological improvements in devices and processing hardware. In this work, an in-depth study of the different fields in which augmented and virtual reality have been used has been carried out. This study focuses on conducting a thorough scoping review focused on these new technologies, where the evolution of each of them during the last years in the most important categories and in the countries most involved in these technologies will be analyzed. Finally, we will analyze the future trend of these technologies and the areas in which it is necessary to investigate to further integrate these technologies into society.

“…If numerous studies highlighted the interest of the usage of physiological data for biofeedback loops in VR experiences [2,4] and entertainment applications [3,8] very few addressed this problematic with the IoT angle, as they offer great portability and freedom of interaction. While smart wearables still lack precision in their monitoring of physiological data, their usage in the VR spectrum is promising.…”

Virtual Reality (VR) is now an affordable technology that is starting to penetrate the mass market. While cardboard is the most distributed system, it lacks interaction to provide really engaging experiences. Providing low cost solutions to enhance VR experiences is crucial. We hypothesized that the integration of a smart wristband in a VR experience, provide a reliable and comfortable enough setup to add a biofeedback loop to a game. We created a physiologically enhanced game and coupled it with a smart wristband capable of monitoring one's heart rate. We tested our game with and without biofeedback and compared the reported novelty. We observed a high interest of the participants for the integration of smart wearables in VR. We highlighted the stability of our setup, even in mobility and the reported absence of discomfort created by the addition of the wristband.
