Virtual Reality Therapy

...

Virtual reality (VR) has been used for decades as a tool for therapists to administer virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) in a safe and controlled manner. Due to cost and technology limitations, it has not been widely available, to date. With the advent of affordable mobile VR headsets, such as the Gear VR, there is a new opportunity to apply telemedicine to decentralize mental health treatment, reaching more patients and improving lives around the world.

Research Questions

• What kind of environments and interactions can we imagine and create to support (or create) VR therapy (other than those projects already existing, see below)?
• What are the requirements for these environments and interactions so that they are meaningful and productive for the patient and therapist?
• What are hurdles and challenges to overcome for interaction designers when building an experience prototype for Virtual Reality Therapy?
