Body Ownership Affects the Processing of Sensorimotor Contingencies in Virtual Reality
Presence in virtual reality (VR), the subjective sense of "being there" in a virtual environment, is notoriously difficult to measure. Electroencephalography (EEG) may offer a promising, unobtrusive means of assessing a user's momentary state of presence. Unlike traditional questionnaires, EEG does not interrupt the experience or rely on users' retrospective self-reports, thereby avoiding interference with the very state it aims to capture. Previous research has attempted to quantify presence i…

The Slow Space Editor : Broadening Access to Restorative XR
The Slow Space Editor is a 2D tool for creating 3D spaces. It was built as part of a research-through-design project that investigates how Virtual and Mixed Reality (XR) environments might be used for reflection and attention restoration. In this phase, we seek to radically simplify the creation of virtual environments, thereby broadening the potential group of users who could benefit from them. The research described in this paper has three aspects. First, we define the concept of "slow space,…
