This feasibility study will explore the implementation, feasibility & potential of Submergence as a complementary therapeutic mental healthcare solution.Squidsoup's Mixed Reality (MR) technology [_Submergence_][0] is an exploration of penetrable volumes of light, created using hundreds of strands of individually addressable LEDs to map volumetric 3D virtual architectures into a shared physical environment. It inhabits the borderlands between reality and virtuality creating an immersive space neither fully real nor digital. The experience is deliberately abstract, representing imagined forces, auras, or energy flows, deliberately inviting personal interpretation while also eliciting clear emotional and subconscious responses.By sequentially turning lights on and off, movement and presence can be suggested. With higher resolutions, brightness and hue control and increased scale, form can emerge, shadows can be cast, the volumes of light can be walked inside and one's entire sense of space and place can become transformed.Submergence is a robust tried & tested experience that has been developed over the course of 10 years, it has been experienced by millions of people all over the world from galleries to festivals. The experience shows potential as a capability within healthcare with antidotal evidence suggesting that it improves wellbeing and encourages collaborative behaviour._"An all embracing and restorative experience. Something so beautiful. Rare to find something my non verbal daughter with Downs Syndrome could enjoy. It spoke her language". Audience member._Digital artists Squidsoup in partnership with Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will examine:a) the implementation, locating and installation of Submergence within a clinical setting b) the potential therapeutic benefits of Submergence in a clinical setting c) the feasibility of clinical staff working with the Submergence technology as a complimentary therapeutic solution. d) the business model, the market opportunity & stakeholders to implement the Submergence technology as a complimentary mental healthcare solution.This cross-sector collaborative study will feed into the growing body of research exploring the potential of XR technologies within healthcare. The project team will run an analysis to explore what is feasible, write a report & gather know-how to disseminate across the healthcare & creative sectors to demonstrate a new pathway to improve mental health & wellbeing.This project will explore the opportunities, challenges & limitations of Submergence, gathering quantitative data by working directly with patients & staff, initially at the care of the elderly ward and then at the paediatric mental health room in Gloucester Royal Hospital Emergency Department.[0]: https://www.squidsoup.org/submergence

这项可行性研究将探讨 Submergence 作为补充治疗性心理保健解决方案的实施、可行性和潜力。Squidsoup 的混合现实 (MR) 技术 [_Submergence_][0] 是对可穿透光量的探索，该技术使用数百条单独的光创建可寻址 LED 将体积 3D 虚拟架构映射到共享物理环境中。它栖息在现实与虚拟之间的边界，创造了一个既不完全真实也不完全数字的沉浸式空间。这种体验是故意抽象的，代表想象中的力量、光环或能量流，故意邀请个人解释，同时也引发清晰的情感和潜意识反应。通过顺序打开和关闭灯光，可以暗示运动和存在。凭借更高的分辨率、亮度和色调控制以及更大的尺度，形状可以显现，阴影可以投射，大量的光可以走进去，一个人的整个空间和地方的感觉可以改变。淹没是一种经过考验的强大体验，经过10年的发展，从画廊到节日，全世界数百万人都体验到了它。这种体验显示出作为医疗保健领域的一种能力的潜力，解毒证据表明它可以改善健康并鼓励协作行为。_“一种包容性和恢复性的体验。如此美丽的东西。很少能找到我患有唐斯综合症的不说话的女儿可以享受的东西。它说她的语言”。观众成员。_数字艺术家 Squidsoup 与格洛斯特郡医院 NHS 基金会信托基金合作，将研究：a) Submergence 在临床环境中的实施、定位和安装 b) Submergence 在临床环境中的潜在治疗效益 c) 临床工作人员的可行性使用淹没技术作为补充治疗解决方案。 d) 将 Submergence 技术作为免费的心理保健解决方案实施的商业模式、市场机会和利益相关者。这项跨部门合作研究将纳入越来越多的研究中，探索 XR 技术在医疗保健领域的潜力。项目团队将进行分析，探索可行的方法，撰写报告并收集在医疗保健和创意领域传播的专业知识，以展示改善心理健康和福祉的新途径。该项目将探讨机遇、挑战和Submergence 的局限性，通过直接与患者和工作人员合作收集定量数据，最初是在老年病房的护理中，然后是在格洛斯特皇家医院急诊部的儿科心理健康室。[0]：https://www.squidsoup。组织/淹没
