| Abstract |
In order to prepare an appropriate planning standard for a personal healing space, the experiment space of the minimum size was composed of VR, and the EEG reaction according to the conditions of interior finishing materials, lighting, and furniture was tested using the EEG analysis method. For the analysis, the performance metrics of Emotiv were used. The following implications could be drawn. First, As for the interior finishing material for the healing space, among white gray wallpaper, cedar, and walnut, cedar has the highest value in areas such as Engagement, Interest, and Relaxation, and the lowest measured value for stress. It was found that it was necessary to construct a healing space with interior finishing materials with soft, warm colors and natural feelings.
Second, as for the lighting conditions, the lighting with a color temperature of 6000K also showed higher Excitement, Stress, and Interest and Focus than the 3000K lighting. It was confirmed that 3000K lighting is more appropriate for the healing environment. Third, even though the personal healing space is the smallest and narrow space, it was confirmed that having familiar furniture lowered Stress and Focus while increasing Engagement, Excitement, Relaxation, and Interest compared to a space without furniture at all. When composing a healing space, it was found that visually familiar furniture arrangements were necessary. |
