What We've Done
Research
- Desk research on nightmare disorder and image rehearsal techniques
- Interviews with mental health experts
- Initial nightmare scenario data collection for MVP
Design
- Project design concept and branding
- User scenarios and UX/UI design
- 3D character and map creation
Development
- Generative AI API integration for modeling
- On-device generative AI testing
- Runtime virtual scene editing (object control, avatar animation, etc.)
- VR gamification environment
We confirmed the feasibility of an initial service that applies IRT to VR, based on research on image rehearsal therapy.
What's Next
Future Direction
We plan to place greater emphasis on research, advance the service, and derive HCI implications.
Planned Work
- Expansion from nightmare disorder to broader sleep disorder treatment support
- Refinement of nightmare-overcoming process based on user experience
- Research questions and service effect validation
- Counselor–client participatory XR treatment support process
