This paper introduces key terms and concepts such as MBSR, biofeedback/neurofeedback, and VR simulation training that informed the design decisions made during the creation of this application. The paper also describes three iterative design projects that led to the creation of The Hiatus System. A breakdown of the design process for the creation of The Hiatus System is described in detail, technically and conceptually. This VR application was developed for use in healthcare as a system that can teach patients the concept of mindfulness using mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training, through a biofeedback-based interactive learning module. While the framework for a pilot study testing the effectiveness of The Hiatus System is described in this paper, the results of this study will be evaluated in a follow-up publication to this MFA thesis paper. 2019-07-22 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1555431653444354 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1555431653444354 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
