Inspired by games such as *Journey* and *It Takes Two*, we aim to make experience of simulated social situations, that inspire a sense of confidence in social activities while staying in a safe environment with the use of Quest Pro passthrough. The project is experimental in nature, and we are consulting with medical professionals with profound knowledge and experience to ensure we are appropriately interacting with mental health issues. Player data will be collected to analyze and research the effectiveness of the experience. Our research methods include playtesting, observation, questionnaires, interviews, and data analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Team-photo-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Team-photo-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Team-photo-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Team-photo-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Team-photo-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Team-photo-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Team-photo-1-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TerrARium is a pilot research project exploring the effectiveness of mixed reality as a tool for exposure therapy in helping high school and early college<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-59","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":175,"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59\/revisions\/175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/terr-ar-ium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
