Development of a Virtual Travel System to Enhance the Discovery of Aspiration and Pleasure

Systems providing various virtual experiences through virtual reality (VR) are being utilized in many fields such as sports, education, entertainment, and healthcare. Many of these systems offer unique and rare experiences that are not easily accessible in the real world, aimed at improving motor and cognitive skills, as well as enhancing enjoyment. However, from the perspective of information systems that improve user happiness and well-being quality, the field is still in a developmental state, and the specific design methods for virtual experiences remain unclear. Our aim is not to enhance athletic performance or skills, but rather to construct a VR system that supports individuals in discovering their own pleasures and aspirations. This paper reports on the implementation of a prototype system aligned with the concept of supporting the discovery of pleasures and aspirations, focusing on a travel experience system as the prototype for this VR system.
