College students often experience high level of stress due to academic commitment and associated factors. To explore the potential benefits of VR in stress management for students while they are on campus, we developed a VR meditation application to use with a massage chair. The application utilizes hand tracking technology and is designed to be used comfortably in conjunction with a massage chair to provide a convenient and accessible way to help manage stress for students while on campus. We plan to further develop the application and conduct further studies on the effects of this approach on students' mental health.
