Towards the design of playful water experiences using interactive technology
summary
Research claims a design path for playful water experiences and builds a working XR prototype called Fluito that nests a VR headset and bubble haptics inside a flotation tank, using heart rate, breathing, and slight head movements to drive interactions; preliminary evaluation shows reduced fear responses when floating with playful XR. The work also produces two surf concepts — a wearable top and a soft robot — that translate ocean data into haptic cues, and yields a somaesthetic-informed framework for future designs.
