An Experimental Game Design on Measuring VR-Supported Therapy Applications – BAP Project
With the rise of the metaverse, new communication technologies are playing a transformative role in the field of healthcare as in many other areas of human life. In this study, the psychological and physiological effects of a metaverse-based game called “Healing Game” on X, Y, and Z generations will be examined by measuring brain activities with an EEG device. The game falls into the category of serious games and aims both to entertain and educate. As players interact with different scenarios within the game, their brain activities will be recorded in real time. The data obtained will reveal the effects of the game on emotional states and its potential to be used as an educational tool. This research will provide new perspectives on the use of metaverse technologies in the healthcare field and will form an important foundation for future studies.
