Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to explore and compare the effects of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) on induced anxiety in set-up scenes for claustrophobia treatment and determine which device functions better. Methodology: Healthy individuals were selected as subjects. During the experiment, the AR and VR scenes were introduced in sequence. The social anxiety scale was assessed after every scene. The subjects' skin conductance and heart rates were measured throughout the entire process. Results: Results showed both the objective indicators and subjective scales of preliminary experiments. Conclusion: System development and integration of data acquisition systems and VR were successfully completed, and preliminary experiments were conducted.
