About

Stefan Rennick‐Egglestone is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, digital health, and interactive entertainment. His work explores how emerging technologies can reshape user experiences, from thrill rides to therapeutic interventions. He is best known for pioneering the use of breath control in amusement rides, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2011 paper (89 citations), which showed how breathing can serve as an intuitive and engaging interface for controlling dynamic ride elements like rollercoaster seats. This work not only advanced interactive entertainment but also highlighted the potential of physiological sensing in real-world applications. Beyond amusement, Rennick‐Egglestone has contributed to digital health, designing systems that support mental wellbeing and rehabilitation. His research is characterized by a human-centered approach, combining rigorous user studies with creative technological design. With a growing citation impact, his work continues to influence both academic and practical developments in embodied interaction and assistive technologies.
