Respire: a Breath Away from the Experience in Virtual Environment

• Respire is a virtual environment presented on a head-mounted display with generative sound built upon our previous work Pulse Breath Water. The system follows the changes in user's breathing patterns upon which it generates changes in the audio and virtual environment. The piece is built upon mindfulness-based design principles with a focus on the breath as a primary object of the user's attention, and employs various approaches to augmenting breathing in the virtual environment.
