“…Pingle (2016) developed an Internet of Things (IOT) that recommends music through a web interface after collecting biodata. Mahalil et. al (2014) created a stress relieving therapy that combines VR and music therapy-based visualization using forest scenes coupled with audio elements such as a waterfall and animals.…”

The Future Directions of Music Cognition conference developed parallel to many of the societal changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The result was an innovative approach to online, remote conferencing. This proceedings journal reflects the research presented at the conference and speaker series, but the virtual nature of the conference also provides opportunities for this journal to be multimedia in new and exciting ways. Most of the articles in this journal are accompanied by an online multimedia presence, with articles linked to videos of the authors presenting, slides, and access to original data and stimuli. This article reviews the story of how the conference and speaker series developed during the pandemic, some of the achievements of the conference, and how the journal is structured.

Virtual reality (VR) based therapy is an alternative technique available for stress treatment. In this technique, virtual reality is used as a tool to assist users to reduce stress and induce relaxation. Many previous literatures published have acknowledged the effectiveness of virtual reality based therapy as compared to other techniques such as breathing exercise and imagination. However, previous studies available only focused on proving the effectiveness of virtual reality application in reducing stress, but are lacking discussions on factors that should be taken into consideration when designing its virtual environment. In previous study, initial framework containing possible factors to be considered when designing virtual environment for stress therapy has been proposed. In this paper, an expert review was conducted to validate the usefulness of the identified factors. Findings from the validation process has resulted in the improved version of the initial framework and their application in virtual environment.

“…VR visualization can give you more control over what therapy you want to visualize. Through computer-generated images displayed by head-mounted display (HMD) devices, therapists can control the vision of patients [1]. VR can also be used to display virtualization images that therapists want patients to realize and feel comfortable with.…”

This research applies exposure to the visual appearance technology of virtual reality (VR). The motivation for this research is to generate a creative intervention by using regular smartphone devices and implementing them in VR using Google Cardboard as a medium visual display for exposure therapy at high altitudes. The VR application in this research is called acrophobia immersive virtual exposure (AIVE), which utilizes the Unity3D software to develop this treatment therapy application. The utilization of exposure therapy was carried out as a therapeutic medium for acrophobia sufferers. A commissioner was given to measure the usefulness of applications and devices in the VR environment created, and as many as 20 users had tested the VR device. The existing questionnaire was revised to develop a questionnaire for acrophobia sufferers, which was then used as an index measurement in the VR environment. The research is expected to be used to design a simulator and as a therapeutic medium using immersive VR devices in future studies.
