For her honours project Anna Llompart Reus developed “Mindscape”,  a Virtual Reality game developed with Unreal Engine 5, featuring six different levels. Mindscape aims to boost mental wellbeing among university students by intertwining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness in an immersive narrative. The project explores VR’s effectiveness compared to non-VR interventions, highlighting VR’s potential for enhanced immersion and interaction in mental health support.
 
Anna concluded that although further research is required to fully comprehend the impact of VR for wellbeing, her project indicated  a promising avenue for digital mental health interventions.
