This feasibility study will explore the implementation, feasibility & potential of Submergence as a complementary therapeutic mental healthcare solution.Squidsoup's Mixed Reality (MR) technology [_Submergence_][0] is an exploration of penetrable volumes of light, created using hundreds of strands of individually addressable LEDs to map volumetric 3D virtual architectures into a shared physical environment. It inhabits the borderlands between reality and virtuality creating an immersive space neither fully real nor digital. The experience is deliberately abstract, representing imagined forces, auras, or energy flows, deliberately inviting personal interpretation while also eliciting clear emotional and subconscious responses.By sequentially turning lights on and off, movement and presence can be suggested. With higher resolutions, brightness and hue control and increased scale, form can emerge, shadows can be cast, the volumes of light can be walked inside and one's entire sense of space and place can become transformed.Submergence is a robust tried & tested experience that has been developed over the course of 10 years, it has been experienced by millions of people all over the world from galleries to festivals. The experience shows potential as a capability within healthcare with antidotal evidence suggesting that it improves wellbeing and encourages collaborative behaviour._"An all embracing and restorative experience. Something so beautiful. Rare to find something my non verbal daughter with Downs Syndrome could enjoy. It spoke her language". Audience member._Digital artists Squidsoup in partnership with Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will examine:a) the implementation, locating and installation of Submergence within a clinical setting b) the potential therapeutic benefits of Submergence in a clinical setting c) the feasibility of clinical staff working with the Submergence technology as a complimentary therapeutic solution. d) the business model, the market opportunity & stakeholders to implement the Submergence technology as a complimentary mental healthcare solution.This cross-sector collaborative study will feed into the growing body of research exploring the potential of XR technologies within healthcare. The project team will run an analysis to explore what is feasible, write a report & gather know-how to disseminate across the healthcare & creative sectors to demonstrate a new pathway to improve mental health & wellbeing.This project will explore the opportunities, challenges & limitations of Submergence, gathering quantitative data by working directly with patients & staff, initially at the care of the elderly ward and then at the paediatric mental health room in Gloucester Royal Hospital Emergency Department.[0]: https://www.squidsoup.org/submergence

本可行性研究将探讨“浸入式”作为一种补充性心理健康治疗方案的实施、可行性和潜力。Squidsoup的混合现实（MR）技术[_subgence_][0]是对可穿透光体的探索，使用数百股可单独寻址的led创建，将体积三维虚拟架构映射到共享的物理环境中。它居住在现实和虚拟之间的边界地带，创造了一个既不完全真实又不完全数字化的沉浸式空间。这种体验是刻意抽象的，代表着想象的力量、气场或能量流，故意邀请个人解释，同时也引发了清晰的情感和潜意识反应。通过顺序地打开和关闭灯，可以建议运动和存在。通过更高的分辨率，亮度和色调的控制以及规模的增加，形式可以显现，阴影可以投射，光线可以进入，人们的整个空间感和场所感可以转变。“淹没”是一种经过10年发展的强大体验，已经被世界各地的数百万人体验过，从画廊到节日。这一经验显示了在医疗保健领域作为一种能力的潜力，有确凿证据表明，它可以改善健康并鼓励合作行为。_“一次拥抱一切、恢复元气的经历。如此美丽的东西。很难找到我患有唐氏综合症的不会说话的女儿喜欢的东西。它说着她的语言。”观众。数字艺术家Squidsoup与Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust合作，将研究：a) Submergence在临床环境中的实施、定位和安装；b) Submergence在临床环境中的潜在治疗效益；c)临床工作人员将Submergence技术作为一种免费治疗方案的可行性。d)商业模式、市场机会和利益相关者将“浸入”技术作为一种免费的心理健康解决方案来实施。这项跨部门合作研究将为探索XR技术在医疗保健领域的潜力的不断增长的研究提供支持。项目团队将进行分析，探索什么是可行的，写一份报告并收集专门知识，以传播整个医疗保健和创意部门，以展示改善心理健康和福祉的新途径。该项目将探索潜水的机遇、挑战和局限性，通过直接与患者和工作人员合作收集定量数据，最初是在格洛斯特皇家医院急诊科的老年病房，然后是儿科精神健康室。[0]: https://www.squidsoup.org/submergence
