Immersive Healing Through Dynamic Image Art: A Review of Interactive Design and Flow Experience in Therapeutic Media
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article discusses the possibilities of the therapeutic use of immersive media, focusing on the design of interactive immersive spaces with dynamic image art and dynamic design. This study explores whether these parts perform, which would be a condition of being so deeply focused and something that the feeling should affect control, cognitive engagement, and well-being. This is an idea frame which describes the types of healing media (generative art, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR)) which are not included by Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow Theory. This paper discusses new research and case studies on how dynamic visualizations and interactive systems can aid with therapeutic goals such as stress relief, mindfulness, behavior rehabilitation, and creative expression. Some of the technologies that enable these environments to be very customized and adaptable to each user’s inputs in real time are the use of motion sensors, generative algorithms and biometric input. The piece is well aware of the big pros and the big cons: it talks about how expensive the piece is; how few practitioners actually know how to use technology; there are no standards in clinical practice; and users are very sensitive to too much stimulation. The conclusion discusses the trends of combining AI and adaptive systems, and how they might be strengthened by actions taken in an embraced research and collaboration in the interdisciplinary which would enable the use of these new trends of doing ethically and productively. These studies go on to demonstrate how immersive, interactive media can enable therapeutic practices to be more accessible, more engaging, and more effective. The implications could produce the possibility for a whole new method by which to heal in both a clinical and community setting.
