Fluito: Towards Understanding the Design of Playful Water Experiences Through an Extended Reality...
summary
A flotation tank prototype called Fluito combines a VR headset with IMU tracking, heart-rate monitoring and pneumatic pumps to test playful water interaction with 13 participants. The experience maps breathing to bubbles and visuals across three worlds: sink-and-breathe underwater, a psychedelic cooperative ball-collecting stage, and a sky level where calming heart rate calms cyclones. Data show enhanced bodily awareness, relaxation and playful exploration enabled by heart-rate-driven feedback and pneumatic bubble haptics.
