This study proposes a conceptual framework for understanding the therapeutic mechanisms and effects of immersive media art through comprehensive literature review of peer-reviewed research published between 2015 and 2024. The introduction establishes the theoretical gap in understanding how immersive media art contributes to therapeutic outcomes beyond traditional art therapy and purely technological interventions. The methodology section describes the integrative literature analysis approach for synthesizing findings across multiple disciplines. Key findings reveal that immersive media art possesses three distinctive therapeutic mechanisms: embodied presence through sensorimotor engagement, interactive narrative development enabling personal meaning-making, and sensory synchronization facilitating emotional regulation. The analysis reveals that these mechanisms operate synergistically to create unique psychological states distinct from traditional therapeutic modalities. The conclusion proposes an integrated theoretical framework combining artistic principles, technological capabilities, and therapeutic objectives, while identifying directions for future empirical research in clinical and non-clinical settings.
