Abstract:

Mindfulness meditation in virtual reality can play a role in regulating emotions in daily life, but there are few studies on the different designs and interactions of mindfulness meditation in virtual reality(VR).
This study focuses on the design and influence of different mindfulness meditation systems based on VR. From three aspects of virtual environment design, virtual object design and interactive task design, we designed specific schemes of mindfulness meditation systems in VR and completed the development of different systems. We evaluated different designs qualitatively and quantitatively through four sets of comparison experiments. Pulse signals and electroencephalography(EEG) signals were collected for physiological measurement, while the Brunel Mood Scale ( BRUMS) and questionnaire were used for subjective assessment. In the analysis of the results, we obtained the design guidance of the mindfulness meditation system in VR and discussed the possibility of other designs.
