Virtual reality also supports you in the therapy of eating disorders.
Eating disorders and VR therapy
You could work on the following topics, among others:
If you have bulimia, develop strategies to combat impulsive eating. You could use the 3P technique used for addiction to treat food as well.
The target weight can be experienced on a virtual scale. This way you can increase motivation in your patients.
In the case of anorexia, you can practice eating high-calorie foods with your patients.
You can use a virtual mirror to simulate the changed body image. This can help your patients overcome their fear of change.
Please note that the screenshots from the software cannot reproduce the extremely realistic impression in the VR glasses.
New Interactive Software
Patients are in a room with a long buffet table where they can pick up food and even eat it virtually.
They can also stand on a scale and experience different body weights and also look at the changed body in the mirror.

High-Calorie Foods
Patients are in a large room with several buffet tables. They are filled with a variety of high-calorie foods, from cakes to fries, burgers and pizza.
At the Grill
There are two grills outside on the terrace. You can open them and take out the crispy meat.
Fruit and Vegetables on the Table
But there are also alternatives: For example, different fruits and vegetables on one table.
Bite into Pizza
A technical feature: You can not only hold all the food in your virtual hands, you can even eat it. To do this, you bring the food to your mouth, whereupon biting and swallowing noises are automatically heard, and the food becomes smaller with each bite.
Carrot
The biting noises are adapted to the food. A carrot sounds different than a donut, for example.
Scale
Another technical highlight is the scale. The patient's weight can be entered into the software and this will appear on the scale. You can also enter your desired weight in order to visually anticipate this goal on the virtual scale and motivate yourself.
Mirror Image 58/68 Kilos
And that's not all: The reflection in the mirror in front of the scale adjusts to the weight entered. Here is an example of a man who weighs 58 kilograms and has a target weight of 68 kg.
The eating disorder software can also be installed on your smart system hardware.
