Use of VR Technology in Research on Migrants
Abstract
In recent years, the issue of migration has become increasingly significant. Migration, whether voluntary or forced, can have a positive or a negative impact on an individual's well-being. One of the tools that can aid in adapting to a new situation is virtual reality (VR). This article presents a pilot study on migrants, in which VR technology was used in conjunction with art therapy. A phenomenological approach to conducting art therapy was applied during a series of four sessions. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse the results. The findings indicate that virtual space has great potential to create an environment for self-discovery, and it can also be a good field for research on embodied cognition.
