Abstract

This study focuses on how interactive digital art, such as installations, virtual reality experiences, and digital storytelling, affects people's emotions. It examines how viewers' emotional responses may be evoked and amplified by design aspects, including music, haptic feedback, visual aesthetics, and user interface. The study also looks at how design choices affect emotional involvement and finds that certain design decisions have a bigger effect than others. The study also looks at the perceived therapeutic benefits of engaging in interactive digital art, demonstrating how beneficial it is for promoting relaxation and stress relief. The study supports the notion that interactive digital art might enhance well-being and emotional healing by highlighting the relationship between emotional involvement and claimed therapeutic benefits. The results, however, are based on fictitious data, necessitating more studies using actual data and a larger, more representative sample.
