摘要
在治疗恐惧症的背景下,虚拟现实(VR)提供了创新的方式来激励患者面对他们的恐惧,这在传统的非数字环境中是不可实现的机会。这篇系统的文献综述探讨了在这种背景下叙述和数字游戏的使用,重点是确定动物恐惧症研究中最常见的搞笑和叙述沉浸特征。通过对Scopus和Web of Science科学数据库的搜索,我们选择了29项研究进行深入分析。我们的主要目标是评估每个研究中搞笑和叙事元素的存在,以了解它们在两个维度上的沉浸潜力。研究结果表明,游戏中戏谑元素的使用频率高于叙事元素,叙事元素明显稀缺,对叙事沉浸的情感维度的探索有限。一个重要的结论是,培养叙事沉浸感的功能总是与乐趣维度联系在一起,通常是次要组件。本研究为开发VR治疗干预提供了一个指导框架,强调了搞笑和叙事方面的结合。此外,它还发现了尚未开发的研究机会,特别是对不太依赖于搞笑元素的自主叙事的整合。
Ludic and Narrative Immersion in Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy to Animal Phobias: A Systematic Literature Review
In the context of therapeutic exposure to phobias, virtual reality (VR) offers innovative ways to motivate patients to confront their fears, an opportunity not feasible in traditional non-digital settings. This systematic literature review explores the utilization of narratives and digital games in this context, focusing on identifying the most common ludic and narrative immersion features employed in studies dedicated to animal phobias. Via a search on the Scopus and Web of Science scientific databases, twenty-nine studies were selected for in-depth analysis. The primary objective was to evaluate the presence of ludic and narrative elements in each study to understand their immersive potential across both dimensions. Findings suggest that ludic elements are more commonly used than narrative elements, which are notably scarce, and the exploration of the emotional dimension of narrative immersion is limited. An essential takeaway is that features fostering narrative immersion are invariably linked to the ludic dimension, often functioning as secondary components. This study provides a guiding framework for developing therapeutic interventions in VR, emphasizing the incorporation of ludic and narrative aspects. Additionally, it identifies untapped research opportunities, particularly the integration of autonomous narratives that are less reliant on ludic elements.
期刊介绍:
With the advent of very powerful PCs and high-end graphics cards, there has been an incredible development in Virtual Worlds, real-time computer animation and simulation, games. But at the same time, new and cheaper Virtual Reality devices have appeared allowing an interaction with these real-time Virtual Worlds and even with real worlds through Augmented Reality. Three-dimensional characters, especially Virtual Humans are now of an exceptional quality, which allows to use them in the movie industry. But this is only a beginning, as with the development of Artificial Intelligence and Agent technology, these characters will become more and more autonomous and even intelligent. They will inhabit the Virtual Worlds in a Virtual Life together with animals and plants.
