VR can become a medium of accessible therapy by using different somatic techniques that calm our nervous system. For this reason, I wanted to explore how combining EMDR with a multi-sensory experience could improve one's mental health.
Framework:
• Unity • Teleportation & control based locomotion • Animated particle systems • Spatial audio for bilateral auditory stimulation
Project Overview
Translated therapeutic techniques such as isolating exercises to focus attention on your senses, progressive muscle relaxation, and bilateral auditory stimulation into interactive levels that calmed the user's nervous system.
