Abstract;
In this research paper, we define several design implications that could be considered when designing Virtual Reality environments for stress relief, based on the performed study. The paper describes our preliminary research and questionnaire and explains our findings from these. We also go into more detail about our environments, study, and the results thereof. Lastly, we share design implications that can be derived from this data, with these being divided into four distinct topics: audio, interactions, visual quality, and immersion. Also provided are simple ideas for how we believe these implications could be implemented in wider Virtual Reality (VR) stress relief applications and software technologies
