Proposal of Stress Coping Contents using AR for Hospitalized Children

Abstract

Children who are hospitalized are threatened by various things such as pain for treatment and anxiety about hospitalized life in hospitalized living. Among them, for children who are hospitalized, play is a compensation act of diverting any stress during hospitalization. We will adopt 'stress coping', which is a response to the environment that can be stressful in that play, and aim to reduce psychological anxiety of inpatient children. Therefore, we focus on the technology called AR (Augmented Reality), which has been exhibiting a lot of content such as games playfully interwoven, and we will propose stress-coping contents using AR for hospitalized children.
