Led by assistant professors Sanghoon Kim and Sangchul Park, the research found that AR/VR games such as virtual table tennis or bowling foster social connection through avatars, real-time communication and nonverbal cues. Published in the <i>International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction</i>, the study surveyed 345 players and revealed that those more engaged in AR/VR sports reported higher psychological well-being. The benefits were especially pronounced among individuals experiencing loneliness, suggesting that virtual social presence can positively impact mental health. However, researchers caution that AR/VR gaming isn't a universal solution. Some users may struggle with virtual interaction, limiting its effectiveness. The authors urge practitioners and policymakers to consider both the potential and limitations of AR/VR sports games in mental health strategies. “These findings show that well-being is shaped by both enjoyment and social experience,” Kim and Park noted, emphasizing the need for thoughtful integration of gaming into therapeutic contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":100916,"journal":{"name":"Mental Health Weekly","volume":"35 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145110819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
