The implementation of the mixed reality Submergence technology as a complimentary therapeutic mental healthcare solution

这项可行性研究将探索Submergence作为补充治疗性心理健康解决方案的实施、可行性和潜力。Squidsoup的混合现实（MR）技术[_Submergence_][0]是一种探索可穿透的光体积的方法，使用数百股可单独寻址的LED将体积3D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，创造一个既不完全真实的也不完全数字化的沉浸式空间。这种体验是刻意抽象的，代表想象中的力量、光环或能量流，故意邀请个人的解释，同时也引发清晰的情感和潜意识反应。通过依次打开和关闭灯光，可以暗示运动和存在。通过更高的分辨率、亮度和色调控制以及更大的尺度，可以呈现形状，可以投射阴影，可以在内部行走，可以改变一个人的整个空间和地方感。沉浸感是一种经过10年发展的强大的久经考验的体验，它已经被世界各地数百万人从画廊到节日体验过。这一经验显示了医疗保健领域的潜力，有解毒证据表明，它可以改善健康状况，鼓励合作行为。“一个全面的和恢复性的经验。如此美丽的东西。很少能找到我患有唐斯综合症的不会说话的女儿能喜欢的东西。它说她的语言”。听众。数字艺术家Squidsoup与格洛斯特郡医院NHS基金会信托基金会合作，将研究：a）在临床环境中实施，定位和安装浸没B）在临床环境中浸没的潜在治疗益处c）临床工作人员使用浸没技术作为免费治疗解决方案的可行性。d）商业模式，市场机会和利益相关者实施淹没技术作为免费的精神卫生保健解决方案。这项跨部门的合作研究将为不断增长的探索XR技术在医疗保健领域潜力的研究提供信息。项目团队将进行分析，探索可行的方法，撰写报告并收集专业知识，在医疗保健和创意部门传播，以展示改善心理健康和福祉的新途径。该项目将探索淹没的机会，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，最初是在老年病房，然后是在格洛斯特皇家医院急诊部的儿科精神健康室。[0]：https://www.squidsoup.org/submergence网站

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
