VR Zen Garden: Designing a Virtual Environment for Stress Relief
IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces Abstracts and Workshops (VRW) 2026
초록
We propose VR Zen Garden, a virtual reality (VR) application designed to support stress relief and meditation through interactive spatial soundscapes. The system enables users to create personalized auditory environments by combining two key interactions: Object Placement, which spatializes sound-emitting objects, and Sand Pattern Raking, which modulates sound properties through visual patterns. These inputs are processed by the Sound Spatializer and the Metaphoric Sound Mixer, allowing users to intuitively shape immersive 3D soundscapes in real time. VR Zen Garden offers an engaging and embodied approach to mindfulness, highlighting the potential of sound-driven design in immersive wellness applications.
