Article: Interactive study of AI-music experiences in virtual reality on psychological comfort Journal: International Journal of Information and Communication Technology (IJICT) 2026 Vol.27 No.7 pp.38 - 61 Abstract: The goal of this study is to find out if putting artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) together can make people enjoy music and things more. It was made so that the music changes based on what people say. AR and AI were mixed to make a tool that can change how people listen to music. VR is used in this study to look at how AI-made music that changes can affect people's health and happiness. VR and music have been shown to help people who are worried or stressed in the past. In real life, though, where people need to change, not many studies look at how these things work together. It made people feel less at ease when they were in quiet places (M = 5.8) but more at ease when AI-made songs played (M = 7.2). Their heart rates went down and their heart rate variability (HRV) went up when they did the different activity. Inderscience Publishers - linking academia, business and industry through research
