Designing a Smartphone-Based Virtual Reality App for Relaxation: Qualitative Crossover Study
This study provides insights into key features of VR relaxation apps, which were subsequently used for the development of a novel smartphone-based VR relaxation app. Further research concerning the effectiveness of this app, along with a broader evaluation of the efficacy and user feedback for smartphone-based VR relaxation apps, is needed. More generally, there is a clear need for more research on the impact of interactivity, biofeedback, and type of environment in VR relaxation.
