Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to explore the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) experiences on human behavior and cognition, and to clarify the potential for these effects to lead to sustained behavioral changes after the experience. In particular, the study investigates methods to enhance the sense of immersion in these experiences, with the goal of leveraging VR and AR to positively influence everyday challenges and behaviors in the real world. As a research outcome, it was confirmed that carefully designed transitions into VR environments can help impressions formed during the experience to persist. Additionally, the study suggested that anthropomorphizing home appliances using AR technology may reduce resistance to engaging in maintenance behaviors.
