As part of his artistic practice, Hannes merges virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) projects with traditional mindful practices. Using biofeedback sensors monitoring heart rate and breath, VR/AR visual stimuli transforms. These projects are based on meditation studies conducted at the Institute of Neuroscience (University of Oregon) where Hannes was an artist-in-residence from 2014-2016. These studies were widely presented.
At Stanford University, in particular, Hannes won the presentation award for “Well-Being Computing: AI meets Health and Happiness Science” at the 2016 AAAI Spring Symposia. hannes’ team continues to explore how to offer creative and contemplative practices in simple forms for all ages through the media of VR & AR.
