SuperDreamCity: An Immersive Virtual Reality Experience That Responds to Electrodermal Activity

In this paper we describe an artistic exhibition that took place in our highly-immersive virtual-reality laboratory. We have allowed visitors to explore a virtual landscape based on the content of night dreams, where the navigation inside the landscape was based on an online feedback from their electrodermal response. We analyze a subset of the physiology data captured from participants and describe a new method for analyzing dynamic physiological experiences based on hidden Markov models.
