  text: Heart rate variability biofeedback has emerged as a validated intervention
    for stress management and emotional regulation through coherence breathing techniques.
    Existing biofeedback systems typically present cardiac and respiratory signals
    as separate feedback channels or rely on discrete interface elements that fragment
    attention and disrupt immersion. We present a design framework that extends Viscereality,
    a bioresponsive VR framework originally developed for breath mapping, to integrate
    multi-channel biofeedback including heart rate within immersive VR, centered on
    a particle-based environment that functions as a spatial body-mapping interface.
    By leveraging bioresponsive breath interactions for embodiment and weak representational
    aesthetics for cardiac coherence, the framework aims to encode both streams within
    a shared visual substrate, reducing the attentional task-switching and experiential
    fragmentation that multi-channel displays otherwise risk. The system translates
    lung volume into spatial expansion and contraction of the environment itself,
    maps cardiac coherence onto affective visual dimensions (angularity, brightness,
    saturation, symmetry), and embeds breathing guidance within the same geometric
    substrate. We present the design rationale and implementation of this framework,
    with empirical validation of its effectiveness to be conducted in future studies.

  text: "Breath-based interactions in virtual reality typically map breathing onto
    discrete visual objects or downstream physiological proxies. Viscereality takes
    a different approach, mapping lung volume onto a surrounding space composed of
    particles arranged in an orb enclosing the participant through interoceptive-exteroceptive
    sensory\r\nsubstitution, such that inhalation expands the environment outward
    and exhalation contracts it inward. The aesthetic texture of the particle field
    is controlled by coupled oscillators governing phase relationships among individual
    particles' animation cycles, making visual organisation an experimentally adjustable
    parameter independent of the respiratory mechanics. In a preregistered within-subjects
    study (N = 39), participants completed three 10-minute audio-guided box-breathing
    sessions in counterbalanced order: a high-symmetry VR condition in which oscillator
    coupling transiently aligned particles into geometric coherence during breath
    holds, an asymmetric VR condition\r\nin which coupling remained irregular throughout,
    and a black-screen control with only a minimal breathing performance indicator.
    Subjective experience was assessed with an altered states of consciousness questionnaire,
    temporal experience tracers, and three pictographic self-related measures. Relative
    to the black-screen control, VR conditions improved breathing synchronization,
    shifted participants toward a more spatially extended frame of self-reference,
    and produced altered-state profiles with strong perceptual effects, moderate positive
    effects, and weaker distressing effects. Despite lasting only 10 minutes, perceptual
    and positive effect intensities were superficially\r\ncomparable to those reported
    in 90-minute facilitated breathwork sessions conducted without VR, while negative
    effects were lower. Temporal experience tracers converged with the retrospective
    questionnaire across all dimensions. Participants remained blind to the aesthetic
    symmetry manipulation, which also yielded no difference on any outcome measure.
    These results suggest that even a brief bioresponsive VR breathing session can
    meaningfully augment both breathing behavior and subjective experience, and may
    warrant further exploration as a complement to established breathwork practices."

  text: 'We introduce a bioresponsive virtual reality system that maps users'' breathing
    patterns to dynamic, spatialized visual feedback. The system implements Gestalt
    principles, such as good figure, similarity, and symmetry, within a 3D particle-based
    environment to enhance the embodiment of interoceptive and exteroceptive space,
    aiming to blur the subjective boundary between bodily self and the external virtual
    space. Moreover, the system incorporates coupling kernels within a dynamic system
    composed of Kuramoto oscillators, enabling the emergence of geometric visual symmetries
    during breath retention phases. This architecture provides an experimental framework
    for investigating how visual–respiratory coupling of space can influence perceived
    bodily boundaries and peripersonal space, as well as for testing how such coupling
    affects positively valenced aspects of subjective experience, drawing on principles
    from the Symmetry Theory of Valence. A short video summary of the system is available
