What else you should know - FAQs
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our VR therapy software, its application, and integration into therapeutic practice.
What are VR scenarios?
Virtual Therapy Environments with Interactive Elements
VR scenarios are computer-generated, realistic environments where your patients can actively move around. They interact with objects, perform tasks, and experience emotional reactions, which are used for VR psychotherapy.
Therapist-Controlled Content for Targeted Interventions
Therapists supervise the session live on the screen and can intervene directly in the scenario. This allows for adjusting the difficulty level, introducing new stimuli, or playfully addressing difficult topics – all in line with an interactive therapy approach.
For which types of addiction is the VR software suitable?
VR Therapy for Substance Use Disorders
Our VR therapy software focuses on the treatment of addiction disorders where visual stimuli play a central role. It is particularly well-suited for substance use disorders such as alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, and other illegal substances.
Realistic VR Scenarios for Addiction Confrontation
In the virtual environment, typical high-risk situations can be realistically depicted – such as parties, supermarkets, or public places. These VR scenarios enable targeted VR psychotherapy and support addiction treatment in an interactive way.
What devices are required for use?
Technical Requirements for the VR Therapy Software
To use our VR therapy software, you will need a high-performance gaming PC, a VR headset with integrated cameras, and optionally a biofeedback sensor.
Our solution is scalable for both large clinics and smaller practices. The hardware requirements remain consistent, ensuring seamless integration – regardless of the area of use for the VR therapy.
How can the software be integrated into existing therapy concepts?
Supplement to Traditional Addiction Treatment in Individual Sessions
Interactive VR therapy can effectively complement traditional methods. In individual sessions, virtual confrontation is used to experience high-risk situations, provoke cravings, and train coping strategies in real-time.
Use in Groups and Therapeutic Diversity
VR psychotherapy can also provide valuable insights in a group setting – even for participants who are only observing. The immersive experience of VR scenarios encourages reflection, exchange, and greater emotional involvement.
What advantages does the app offer over traditional methods?
More Than Stimulus Confrontation: Contextual Depth
Our app not only focuses on confrontation with substances but also addresses the entire context of addiction treatment. Patients experience places like train stations, bars, or supermarkets – typical high-risk situations – from a first-person perspective.
Realistic Reactions and Targeted Interventions
Through this realistic portrayal, emotions and automatic responses are authentically triggered. Therapists can then intervene strategically and apply personalized strategies for addiction treatment.
Is there a free trial option?
Two-week trial of the VR therapy software with your own hardware
Clinics and practices that already have compatible hardware can test our VR therapy software for two weeks free of charge. This allows them to try out the practical benefits without any investment risk.

Are there regular new contents or updates?
