Description
Silvia F. M. Pizzoli and three colleagues put forward a new frame for building virtual reality places that feel truly personal. Most health uses of virtual reality rely on stock scenes that fit no one in particular. Deep personal designs can work well, but they take long interviews and costly rebuilding for each user.
Their frame, called the embodied meaningful place framework, joins three layers. One layer holds shared symbols and archetypes that many people grasp at once. One holds cues from a person's own life story. The last layer turns inner body states into scenes a user can see and explore. The authors argue this mix can scale personal care without losing depth.
