Abstract

The inheritance and development of traditional Chinese health-preservation exercises, as a significant initiative to promote the national well-being, necessitate the mutual penetration of various academic disciplines, thereby presenting opportunities for research in health-preservation exercises empowered by extended reality technologies. To grasp the developmental pathways of embodied interaction research concerning traditional Chinese health-preservation exercises in extended reality, this paper first delineates the current research on traditional Chinese health-preservation exercises. Subsequently, from the perspective of embodied cognition, the paper discusses the interactive mechanisms between physical exercises and mental activities across three dimensions—cognition, emotion, and social interaction—drawing from the shared notion of embodiment inherent in traditional Chinese health-preservation culture. Furthermore, through analyzing the embodied characteristic of extended reality, embodied interactive experiences and applications, the paper elucidates, resonates with, and deepens the understanding of the concept and value of “the unity of body and mind.” Finally, this paper summarizes the findings and future directions, aiming to foster advancement in this field.
