Digital Art and Mental Health: A Study on Art Therapy in Virtual Reality Environments
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This study examines the impact of virtual reality (VR) art therapy on mental health, focusing on its effects on anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation. Using head-mounted displays and interactive digital art tools, the experiment assessed emotional and physiological changes. Results showed that VR art therapy significantly reduced anxiety and depression scores and enhanced emotional control. Decreased heart rate and skin conductance further confirmed its effectiveness. These findings indicate VR art therapy as a promising mental health intervention. Future studies should investigate its applications across different populations, its long-term effects, and its integration with other therapeutic methods.
