Mindfulness Anywhere: Meditating in the Generated Virtual World

With the rapid advancement of Virtual Reality (VR) technology, immersive meditation experiences have become a promising tool for enhancing mental well-being. However, many existing VR meditation environments lack personalization and realistic integration, limiting their effectiveness. This study evaluated personalized virtual relaxation environments using a comparative research design. Results showed that the experimental group, using generative virtual meditation spaces, experienced significantly more positive emotional states. Future work will explore the impact of VR meditation through fNIRS measurements of prefrontal cortex activity, aiming to understand how personalized virtual environments influence psychological and neural responses.
