“…Two small sample pilot studies using Tilt Brush found that 20 min VR art-marking resulted in positive emotions (Kaimal et al 2020a, b), and 2 × 1 h VR artmaking (with and without an airborne fragrance) showed a reduction in stress (Kaimal et al 2020a, b). A study comparing 15 min of 3D VR Tilt Brush to 2D art making found a reduction in measures of HR, negative affect, state anxiety and trait anxiety, but reports its limitation in omitting measures of presence or flow (Richesin et al 2021). Hence, this study aimed to explore how creative mediums provided by VR can be potentially employed for anxiolytic purposes.…”

Recent advancement in technology has made virtual reality (VR) more accessible and immersive than ever before, resulting in its increasing utility in various industries. Despite this, VR has remained an underutilised tool within clinical psychology. This study aimed to explore the potential of using VR for therapeutic benefits through examining the level of flow and anxiety-reducing effects of freeform drawing in real life (on paper) versus drawing in VR (using Tilt Brush) via a randomised-controlled trial with 40 participants. State and trait anxiety was measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, level of flow was measured using the Long Flow State Scale, and level of presence was measured using the iGroup Presence Questionnaire. Overall level of flow was not significantly different between both groups, implying drawing in VR induces as much flow as drawing in real life. Level of flow was positively correlated to level of presence experienced in the VR group (p < .01). Although there was no significant interaction effect, both groups experienced an overall decrease in state anxiety, with the VR group experiencing a significant reduction of state anxiety from pre- to post-test (p < .01).

“…At present, the society is full of various Internet activities, such as video games, short videos, and online social networking, which constantly squeeze people's less affluent leisure time. People generally hope to release the pressure in video games, experience all kinds of new things in short videos, and use online social instead of offline meeting [1]. The current situation of almost not taking part in any physical exercise, coupled with unreasonable diet structure, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, low vision, low cardiopulmonary function, and other diseases, gradually appears to have younger status in some overnourished people [2].…”

With the rapid development of science and technology and economy, it has a great impact on people’s lifestyle and habits. Fewer and fewer people will actually carry out offline sports activities, and some will choose gyms and other places for offline exercise, but the high cost of gyms limits most people’s desire to exercise. Our country has been actively introducing policies or measures to advocate physical exercise, but people’s enthusiasm is not high or improper training leads to frequent physical injury. In view of the current situation and pain points of sports skill training, this paper first discusses the possibility of the overall application of virtual reality technology based on artificial intelligence in sports skill training. Secondly, it explores the application of virtual reality technology based on artificial intelligence in tennis, which is a highly skilled sports training. Finally, combined with the practical application of virtual reality technology based on artificial intelligence in sports skills training, it proves the advantages and influence of applying virtual reality technology based on artificial intelligence in sports skills training in the future.

“…As no hard-and-fast rules for artmaking exist, VR artmaking is often viewed as an activity for relaxation and recuperation with no substantial impact on the physical world and free from the fear of failure or committing mistakes (Li and Shen 2022). A study that focused on the physiological measures of VR users during artmaking in a 3D virtual space, found a reduction in anxiety and negative affect (Richesin et al, 2021). Also, the same study suggests that the aspect of having an end goal during a VR simulation, such as completing an artwork, plays an important role when aiming for specific wellbeing related outcomes.…”

“…VR also poses an opportunity for studying the impact of artmaking on the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) from a theoretical standpoint that derives from pieces of research focusing on artmaking and anxiety disorders (Sandmire et al, 2012;Sandmire et al, 2016). It is already known that artmaking practices help in reducing stress and anxiety, but VR technology could elevate our understanding of artmaking even further, thanks to the facilitation of data management and the ecological validity offered by VR interventions (Richesin et al, 2021).…”

This scoping review focuses on therapeutic interventions, which involve the creation of artworks in virtual reality. The purpose of this research is to survey possible directions that traditional practices of art therapy and therapeutic artmaking could take in the age of new media, with emphasis on fully immersive virtual reality. After the collection of papers from online databases, data from the included papers were extracted and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results reveal that virtual reality introduces novel opportunities for artistic expression, self-improvement, and motivation for psychotherapy and neurorehabilitation. Evidence that artmaking in virtual reality could be highly beneficial in therapeutic settings can be found in many aspects of virtual reality, such as its virtuality, ludicity, telepresence capacity, controlled environments, utility of user data, and popularity with digital natives. However, deficiencies in digital literacy, technical limitations of the current virtual reality devices, the lack of tactility in virtual environments, difficulties in the maintenance of the technology, interdisciplinary concerns, as well as aspects of inclusivity should be taken into consideration by therapy practitioners, researchers, and software developers alike. Finally, the reported results reveal implications for future practice.
