Nyctophy: Development of virtual reality and smartwatch integrated serious game for nyctophobia therapy
Nyctophy is a serious game combining virtual reality (VR) and smartwatch integration for nyctophobia (fear of darkness) therapy. The paper thoroughly explores its development framework, simulating dark environments with real-time heart rate monitoring and adaptive flashlight mechanics. Built in Unity Engine, Nyctophy supports VR (Meta Quest 2) and keyboard–mouse interfaces. Performance tests achieved 71.9 FPS (”good” quality) across four devices. Tests with 34 participants revealed longer VR completion times (8:12 min) versus keyboard–mouse (3:54), highlighting immersive impact. Nyctophy demonstrates potential as a safe, innovative tool for diagnosing and treating nyctophobia, leveraging serious games to enhance accessibility and therapeutic outcomes.
