Phanthera is an adaptive VR motion game designed to help knowledge workers relax their bodies and regulate their emotions through engaging VR gameplay during daily work breaks. The Game adaptive system, which offers personalized gameplay and training experiences tailored to each player's behavior.
VR Game
Phanthera is an immersive VR-based fitness experience designed for knowledge workers in the digital era. Prolonged desk work and overlooked poor posture habits often lead this group to suffer from muscle tension, mental fatigue, and related health issues. Our research revealed that traditional exercise methods lack sufficient appeal, making it difficult for workers to maintain long-term commitment. To address this, we integrate exercise into a gamified experience. By offering a lightweight, engaging, and highly targeted VR gameplay format, Phanthera motivates users to actively and continuously restore their physical well-being.
Core Gameplay
In the game, players take on the role of a “Dream Guardian,” assisting the protagonist in resisting the invasion of nightmares. Confronted with continuous waves of attacks, players must wield various magical tools and defend through quick bodily responses involving movement of the shoulders, neck, and limbs. Each session lasts only 5–10 minutes, allowing players to efficiently complete phases of relaxation and recovery.
Adaptive
The player's work-time behavior will be tracked and analyzed by AI. Based on this behavioral data, the game will automatically adjust its settings to provide personalized exercise. For example, if a player spends long periods looking down at a screen, the game will introduce more high-positioned monsters and attack patterns to encourage neck movement. If one hand is overused during work, the game will assign more tasks to that side to help the player stretch and relax those specific muscles.
