Abstract
Meditation is becoming more and more popular as an effective way to relax. For novices in particular, meditation demands the necessary discipline and practise. Healing Zone is a virtual reality (VR) system that uses virtual natural environments and interactive elements to encourage users to regulate breathing and assist in meditation exercises to relieve anxiety. In order to give people a peaceful, natural atmosphere for meditation, this study shows how a virtual environment and guided animation might work together. A trial with 8 volunteers confirmed its effectiveness as a meditation aid and anxiety relief, and revealed the need for a richer aesthetic experience. The Healing Zone offers a fresh viewpoint for upcoming study and innovation in related sectors, as well as demonstrating the potential of virtual reality in human-computer interaction and mental health.
