Type: article
Abstract: With the rapid development of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, Extended Reality (XR) is increasingly demonstrating its potential in the field of emotional healing. This paper focuses on the application of home-based XR art experiences for emotional healing in elderly individuals with limited mobility. Through immersive interactions and the design of virtual natural landscapes, XR helps alleviate psychological stress and anxiety, enhancing the well-being of elderly users. In addition to analyzing how XR technology, through eye-tracking and multimodal affective computing, combined with personalized and contextual design, provides emotional healing and psychological support for elderly users, this paper proposes several recommendations for future XR system designs. Specifically, it suggests improvements in adaptive interface design, integration of physiological feedback, and the enhancement of virtual social functions to better meet the emotional needs of elderly individuals, ultimately improving their quality of life.
