Deep Focus in VR

---

By Dr Jeannette Ginslov 

Deep Focus in VR is an innovative VR experience designed to revolutionize relaxation and meditation techniques. This immersive VR practice helps improve focus, relieve tension, and restore calm, making it especially beneficial for:

• Desk workers who are exhausted or burnt-out 
• CEO’s who lack clarity of vision and experience high levels of stress
• Students who seek creative and restorative experiences
• Those who find it difficult to meditate 

Think of it as a personal spa for your mind and body, using embodied drawing techniques within a rich, sonic VR environment where personal content creation may slow heart rate, boost dopamine levels, and stimulate creativity, ultimately enhancing well-being, innovation, and personal agency—all in just 12 minutes.

Deep Focus in VR is a further development of Deep Flow, a practice pioneered by Dr. Jeannette Ginslov in her PhD research at London South Bank University that researched relations between heart rate variability, somatic dance and analogue drawing practices. Deep Focus in VR now explores:

• The creation of hieroglyph-like drawings in Open Brush using a headset and a controller, transforming meditative experience into visual form
• The intersection of immersive technology, creative storytelling, and embodied human expression
• The role of visual, non-verbal expression in communicating emotions and feelings
• The potential of art and aesthetics in supporting personal transformation and well-being
• The possibility of multiplayer content creation in VR 

What to Expect:

1. Learn how to the use the Deep Focus in VR drawing tool

2. Learn how to relate drawing to your embodied meditative experience

3. Create and capture your own 3D VR drawings or with others

4. Take a snapshot of your drawing and upload it to an online platform, creating a personal archive of your VR meditation journey. 

5. After the session, you can complete a short online questionnaire about your experience.
