Experience Your Breath in Virtual Reality
Flowborne VR is a meditative breathing game with biofeedback support that teaches a calming breathing style in an intuitive way. It was created by psychologists with stress reduction and deep relaxation in mind. Experience a memorable pilgrimage through soothing landscapes, allow yourself to let go and master the art of diaphragmatic breathing.
Innovative Biofeedback
Flowborne VR is controlled by your very own breath. The VR controller is used to detect the subtle respiration-induced movements of your abdomen. The virtual environment reacts to your breathing in real-time, thereby guiding your attention and helping you perfect your breathing style. Every exhale translates into a floating movement, letting you gently explore the virtual world.
Metaverse Meditation
Flowborne VR runs on Meta Quest 2, a state-of-the-art mobile virtual reality system that requires no additional sensors or computers. This allows you to deeply immerse yourself in a nonobtrusive way. Flowborne VR is your private refuge in the metaverse, readily available whenever you need to unwind.
Out of the Lab
A research prototype of Flowborne VR was empirically investigated in a peer-reviewed controlled laboratory study. Over the course of six short sessions, participants significantly improved their breathing skills and relaxation self-efficacy.
