In future, when you're afraid of something, you can take a virtual reality helmet and let it help you overcome your fear. A Spain company Psious virtual reality technology, make exposure therapy more simple and less expensive.
Use virtual reality technology to overcome the flies, snakes and other early fear thoughts, Psious, founder of Xavier Palomer and Danny Roig said, but the high cost of these technologies, aimed at big clinics. Such as Veterans Administration hospital use of Virtually Better treat PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), the instrument operation took tens of thousands of dollars. Psious platform is more applicable to individuals, its cost in the affordable range.
Therapists need to access a Web page where control can be applied by moving a series of virtual environments. Patients wear a virtual reality helmet, the therapist will guide them through a scene. For example, a person at home worried the plane took off, was waiting for a taxi to take them to the airport. Then the doctor will set some factors that may exacerbate anxiety, factors such as weather, the people around, and so on. Doctors need to look at how patients respond to, maybe looked up to heaven, or looking out of the window. Moschino Samsung Galaxy case
