VR Dance Therapy Interface
Designing adaptive VR interactions that help therapy participants stay engaged while giving therapists meaningful progress visibility.
Final Designs
This story focuses on balancing motivation and clinical validity in movement-based therapy interactions.
Research
We studied where users lose confidence in therapy flow and where therapists need clearer intervention signals.
Problem
Static feedback loops caused users to prioritize score-chasing over quality movement, reducing long-term outcomes.
Design Exploration
We introduced adaptive cueing and therapist-facing summaries to make each session responsive without overwhelming users.
Evaluation
Three rounds of prototype testing improved instruction clarity and reduced correction friction during sessions.
Impact
The redesigned flow improved completion rates and reduced therapist intervention load during pilot sessions.
Conclusion
The final design aligned emotional motivation and clinical progression in one coherent workflow.
