Immersive Environment Dome - VR Domes change the game

About the “My Virtual Dream” (MVD) Project:

Imm was produced with team partners Pacific Domes (Immersive VR Gaming Environments), InteraXon (EEG Headsets) and Center Stage (AV). Art and science united in an immersive gaming environment, a unique study of neurofeedback in collaboration with the staff at Baycrest and the University of Toronto. The ‘My Virtual Dream World Tour’ project continues to be received with enthusiasm by audiences worldwide.

About the MVD Experience…

Groups of people were brought under a 60-foot geodesic dome to participate in a two-part real-time interactive experience. Electroencephalography (EEG) data, measured, recorded and analyzed electrical activity from the brain from a total of 523 adults over the course of 12 hours.

Participants were immersed in prerecorded music synchronizes with projected animated video clips over the surface of the dome for the dreaming portion of the evening. There were four dream themes with different audio and video pairings, but the environment changed based on the EEG recordings from the participants. The gaming experience was reported in a 2015 PLOS ONE paper entitled My Virtual Dream’: Collective Neurofeedback in an Immersive Art Environment”.

MVD Abstract

While human brains are specialized for complex and variable real world tasks, most neuroscience studies reduce environmental complexity, which limits the range of behaviors that can be explored. Motivated to overcome this limitation, we conducted a large-scale experiment with electroencephalography (EEG) based brain-computer interface (BCI) technology as part of an immersive multi-media science-art installation. Data from 523 participants were collected in a single night. The exploratory experiment was designed as a collective computer game where players manipulated mental states of relaxation and concentration with neurofeedback targeting modulation of relative spectral power in alpha and beta frequency ranges. Besides validating robust time-of-night effects, gender differences and distinct spectral power patterns for the two mental states, our results also show differences in neurofeedback learning outcome. The unusually large sample size allowed us to detect unprecedented speed of learning changes in the power spectrum (~ 1 min).

Moreover, we found that participants' baseline brain activity predicted subsequent neurofeedback beta training, indicating state-dependent learning. Besides revealing these training effects, which are relevant for BCI applications, our results validate a novel platform engaging art and science and fostering the understanding of brains under natural conditions.

VR Future: Lose the Goggles, Enter the HIVE!

HIVE is an acronym for “highly immersive virtual environment”.  

This can be in a SimLab, such as that at University of Miami, requiring specially constructed technology in 570 m2 physical space, but offers untethered tracking of users.  

That’s fine for research, but if the audience is key, a 360 degree projection dome with moving, voice responsive projection is an ideal venue to experience the full power of immersive virtual reality

The open space of the dome allows for shared human interactions, with the dynamic energy of a group and genuine sense of body motions without the gear.  Companies like Obscura Digital, Dome Pro and Vortex Immersion have been creating and utilizing state of the art surround technology, getting us closer and closer to REAL life.

HIVE is the new generation of Virtual Reality, with visions that captivate, and increasingly respond to our interaction. 

When holographic projection is added, this becomes the “mixed reality" so many gamers desire.

So far, nothing has replaced the feeling of open sky, freedom of movement and social interaction, unfiltered by machine overlay.

Miami University Department of Psychology researchers concur:  

So Not the Future!

Their study replicates results of previous studies, concluding, “the fully immersive system induced the highest sense of presence and the head mounted display system elicited the highest amount of simulator sickness.” (Waller D, Bachmann, E, Hodgson E, Beall AC. Department of Psychology, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio 45056, USA. Behav Res Methods. 2007 Nov;39(4):835-43).

For, Ian Downie, the self-described transformational storyteller of Vortex Immersion, it’s all about drawing the audience in to convey profound ideas and to inspire.  

Adept at innovating multi-sensory theater production systems, he creates powerful experiences that impact people in unique, meaningful and lasting ways. According to Downie.“Transmedia and immersive storytelling can then be used to awaken hearts, communicate our shared history and humanity and share profound ideas and inspiration."

The creative teams at Pacific Domes International, and its sister company, Obscura Digital, have together been on the cutting edge of emerging mixed media possibilities since 2000

Together, they have helped businesses, foundations and even countries to identify their stories, and make them come alive in the 360 degree immersive environments.
