这项研究的目标是将虚拟现实 (VR) 与 EMDR 中使用的双边刺激相结合，作为缓解压力的工具。我们为成年人创建了一个 15 分钟的放松训练计划，以在虚拟、轻松的环境中在树林中散步的形式进行。该工具的目标平台是 HTC Vive，但它可以轻松移植到其他 VR 平台。该工具的一个组成部分是一组传感器，它可以作为生理测量来评估该系统的有效性。更重要的是，该系统集成了视觉（通过球体）、听觉（环绕声）和触觉信号（控制器的振动）。实施了一项包含上述 VR 系统的试点治疗计划。实验组由28名健康成年志愿者（上班族）组成，参加了3次不同时段的放松训练。在开始之前，记录了主观感知的压力、情绪、心率、皮肤电反应和肌肉反应等基线特征。生理指标的监测在训练期间和训练结束后一分钟持续进行。在会议之前和之后，志愿者被要求重新填写有关当前压力水平和情绪的调查问卷。所获得的结果随着时间的变化进行分析：在会议之前、期间和之后。
The goal of this research is to integrate Virtual Reality (VR) with the bilateral stimulation used in EMDR as a tool to relieve stress. We created a 15 minutes relaxation training program for adults in a virtual, relaxing environment in form of a walk in the woods. The target platform for the tool is HTC Vive, however it can be easily ported to other VR platforms. An integral part of this tool is a set of sensors, which serves as physiological measures to evaluate the effectiveness of such system. What is more, the system integrate visual (passing sphere), auditory (surround sound) and tactile signals (vibration of controllers). A pilot treatment programme, incorporating the above mentioned VR system, was carried out. Experimental group consisting of 28 healthy adult volunteers (office workers), participated in three different sessions of relaxation training. Before starting, baseline features such as subjectively perceived stress, mood, heart rate, galvanic skin response and muscle response were registered. The monitoring of physiological indicators is continued during the training session and one minute after its completion. Before and after the session, volunteers were asked to re-fill questionnaires regarding the current stress level and mood. The obtained results were analyzed in terms of variability over time: before, during and after the session.
