“…Most HCI designs rely on ambiguous audiovisual feedback to map one's current internal processes related to meditation states into external objects. For example, the intensity of the light of a candle [3], the sounds of the sea [48], the amount of leaves on a tree [45]. Nevertheless, we found that mapping one's performance during meditation back to the body could be an interesting design concept.…”

“…We find this to be an interesting design input for meditation systems, as regardless of the feedback implemented in the system, the concept of vertical movement could be used to facilitate transition between meditation stages with the goal of achieving a mindfulness state. The introduction of vertical movement to assist the stage of becoming mindful has been explored in some interactive systems for meditation through audiovisual feedback in immersive virtual reality [3,48]. Nevertheless, we think that this could be enhanced by using haptic feedback recreating the physical sensations in particular body locations associated with each meditation stage ( Table 1).…”

“…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. EDA [57], breathing [48,49,70], EEG [3,40,53]) which were further mapped onto creative audio-visual feedback.…”

Recent research in psychology distinguishes levels of consciousness into a tripartite model-conscious, unconscious and metaconscious. HCI technologies largely focus on the conscious pathway for computer-to-human interaction, requiring explicit user attention and action. In contrast, the other two pathways provide opportunities to create new interfaces that can alter emotion, cognition and behavior without demands on attentional resources. These direct interfaces connect to cognitive processes that are in our perception but outside our conscious control. In this work, we feature two sub-categories, namely preconscious and metasomatic within the tripartite model of consciousness. Our goal is to provide a finer categorization of cognitive processes that can better help classify HCI research related to activating non-conscious cognitive pathways. We present the design of two wearable devices, MoveU and Frisson. From lessons learned during the iterative design process and the user studies, we present four design considerations that can be used to aid HCI researchers of future devices that influence the mind. With this work we aim to highlight that awareness of consciousness levels can be a valuable design element that can help to expand the range of computer-to-human interface devices we build. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Interaction design theory, concepts and paradigms; HCI theory, concepts and models.

“…This allows the usage of the body both as a mean for interaction but also as a goal on itself [57], ranging from ludic to Assistive technologies. Research has been performed using breathing and brain activity to control VR games [2,62,79] with applications ranging from ludic to contemplative/meditative. Serious games sit at the intersection between ludic and assistive, such as the usage of breathing therapy for kids with attentiondeficit or hyperactivity disorders [77,78].…”
