A grief farewell scene design for children based on virtual reality

The global outbreak of Covid-19 causes a large number of casualties. Due to the suddenness and infectivity of virus, the bereaved were unable to say goodbye to the deceased. This leads to a series of psychological disorders of grief. In response to the above problems, a virtual reality(VR) grief farewell scene is designed to help bereaved children bid farewell to their deceased relatives and regain their confidence in life. To verify the effectiveness of the scene, 30 respondents were recruited by us to conduct a user experience survey. To a certain extent, the results show that grief empathy can be aroused by our design and the VR scene can assist subjects to vent their emotions and complete grief cognitive education. In terms of user experience, the scene fluency and refinement are basically intact. In future work, the VR grief scene design will be improved and more in-depth research on grief counseling will be conducted.
