Abstract
In the context of increasing social competition, life pressure, and COVID-19 epidemic, the psychological subhealth issues of young and middle-aged individuals are becoming more prevalent. In light of this, the study of psychological relaxation has become crucial. The rapid development of virtual reality technology in recent years has enabled visiting virtual environments to be a convenient means of achieving physical and mental healing. Nevertheless, the combination of healing environments and virtual reality is currently limited to virtual scenes shaped by sound and light, and the use of tactile, olfactory, and gustatory simulation technologies is minimal. Therefore, innovative research is required. In this paper, theories and technologies related to five-sense healing around the world are analyzed, and the psychological healing needs of young and middle-aged groups are investigated. On this basis, immersive virtual re-ality healing designs based on the five senses are proposed. This enlightens immersive virtual reality healing design and provides a more immersive healing experience for young and middle-aged people with mental sub-health.
