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沉没作为一种补充治疗精神保健解决方案的实施、可行性和潜力。鱿鱼汤的混合现实(MR)技术[_沉没_][0]是对可穿透体积的光的探索，使用数百束可单独寻址的LED来将体积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，创造了一个既不完全真实也不数字的身临其境的空间。这种体验故意是抽象的，代表想象的力量、光环或能量流，故意邀请个人解释，同时也引发清晰的情感和潜意识反应。通过顺序地打开和关闭灯光，可以暗示运动和存在。随着更高的分辨率、亮度和色调控制以及更大的比例，形式可以显现，阴影可以投射，光量可以在里面行走，一个人的整个空间感和地方感可以被改变。淹没是一种经过10年发展起来的强大的、经过考验的体验，从画廊到节日，世界各地的数百万人都经历过这种体验。这一经历展示了它作为医疗保健领域一项能力的潜力，解药证据表明，它改善了幸福感，并鼓励了合作行为。_“一种包容和恢复的体验。一种如此美丽的体验。很少能找到我患有唐氏综合症的非语言女儿喜欢的东西。它说的是她的语言。”数字艺术家鱿鱼汤将与格洛斯特郡医院NHS基金会信托基金合作审查：a)在临床环境中实施、定位和安装沉没技术；b)在临床环境中使用沉没技术的潜在治疗益处；c)临床工作人员使用沉没技术作为免费治疗解决方案的可行性。D)将沉没技术作为一种免费的精神保健解决方案实施的商业模式、市场机会和利益相关者。这项跨行业的合作研究将成为探索XR技术在医疗保健领域的潜力的不断增长的研究主体。该项目团队将运行一项分析，以探索什么是可行的，撰写一份报告，并收集技术知识，以在医疗保健和创意部门传播，展示一种改善心理健康和福祉的新途径。该项目将探索沉没的机会、挑战和限制，通过直接与患者和工作人员合作来收集定量数据，最初在老年病房的护理，然后在格洛斯特皇家医院急诊科的儿科精神卫生室。[0]：https://www.squidsoup.org/submergence。

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
