Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to investigate psycho-physiological effect by our developed bio-signal feedback virtual reality (VR) system, in which the movement or contour of virtual objects in the VR changes according to human biological signals. In a fireworks contents, each of a firework is launched with synchronizing participant’s own heart beat in a real time manner. As for the result of experiment, it was suggested that human parasympathetic nervous system may be influenced by such a peculiar VR contents.
