New Article on Sea Level Rise program in The Art Newspaper on SEAing Breath: “…SEAing Breath, meanwhile, is a virtual reality work. With children and families in mind, … created a video game-like, underwater environment. “When you start to breath in or breath out more quickly, it impacts your environment, so the sea levels change based on your biomorphics,” Sanfilippo explains. Despite climate change being literally at the doorsteps of those living in Miami Beach, Sanfilippo feels that much remains to be done in reaching out to local communities. Her priority, she says, is putting work in high-profile places “and trying to get it out of the echo chambers as much as possible”. http://theartnewspaper.com/feature/as-waters-rise-artists-answer-a-call-to-action

May 12 Demo of swim belt breath sensor. The sensor is connected to the swim belt and detecting depth of breaths. The visualization program shows breathing patterns as colors and graphs. The breathing sensor will be integrated in the VR experience soon.

May 5 New progress on non-invasive sensing of breathing patterns. Working now on combining with easy set up (swim belt) and VR program: 

May 3 Tests of breath biofeedback. The interaction with a ‘crab’ is programmed using the Unity game development platform:  

April 26 Tests for breath sensor interaction in ‘Miami Beach.’ Soap bubbles are expanding with deeper breaths. For final program water levels will be in-sync with breath, too:

April 26 Screenshots of virtual reality ‘Miami Beach’ and underwater environment, created using Unity:
