Abstract
Existing VR emotional healing applications lack real-time adaptability and meaningful interaction with user emotions. This thesis explores an emotionally responsive VR system that visualizes brainwave data to create immersive and adaptive experiences. Using research through design (RTD) methodologies, through an iterative prototyping process this project investigates how real-time biofeedback can enhance user interaction and well-being in virtual environments. The system integrates EEG-based feedback with environmental dynamics, applying art therapy principles and meditation techniques to foster emotional engagement to enhance emotional regulation and self-awareness.
