The Role of Temporality in Virtual Reality Interventions for Depressive Episodes—A Scoping Review
Overview
This scoping review examines how virtual reality interventions address temporal disruptions in individuals with depressive episodes. The authors analyze seventeen studies to assess the extent to which these interventions target subjective time experiences, noting that this dimension is largely underrepresented in current literature. The resource highlights immersion and visualization as key VR features for reorganizing time perception and suggests future research should focus on interactive designs and varied perspectives.
