the Lotus Flower
Designed to help users re-enter after setbacks, this system utilizes breathing patterns as the core input to regulate emotional states and guide users from tension to recovery.
During his grandmother’s funeral,
the protagonist learned that he had some legacy to be inherited,
so he must reach the old house from his childhood.
The path was desolated,
and he should explore the surroundings and look for directions.
While reliving his memory, he discovered his family seal carving history,
and learned the mental state to be a seal carver.
Designed and implemented a breath-driven VR experience
where breathing is not just a feedback mechanism, but the core interaction stateMapped distinct breathing patterns to control movement, cognition, and narrative pacing,
informed by user testing on physical engagement and cognitive focus.Independently built the system using Unity and sensor integration,
translating breathing principles into intuitive, learnable interactions.
Immersion is a major feature of games.
I want to analyze the causes and influencing factors of immersion in games
from the underlying logic,
and whether the immersion and information transmission of games will change
when introducing other interactive methods
(taking breathing as an example).
Therefore,
I chose seal carving-a skill that focuses on breathing-as the theme
and made a game.
This also made me start to think about
the future use and social value of this attempt.
Conclusion: a first person puzzle game
story, immersion, self awareness
Seal cutting is calligraphy on stone,
which requires a soft brush and a hard carving knife.
During his grandmother’s funeral,
the protagonist learned that he had some legacy to be inherited
and he must reach the old house from his childhood.
The path was desolated, and he should explore the surroundings and look for directions.
