Against panic and claustrophobia in the new virtual elevator

To start with, the patients are located near an elevator. Using the teleport function, you can move to the elevator door. You use your virtual hand to call the elevator and then walk in with your own steps. Once inside, you choose which floor you want to go to. then the door closes and the elevator starts moving.

Therapists can make the following settings:

• The size of the elevator can be specified (small, medium, large)
• The driving speed can be set
• Stressful situations can be triggered: the elevator starts to shake. Elevator gets stuck and an alarm sounds
• The back wall can be customized: plain back wall, mirror or window with a view to the outside

Patients have the following options:

• Call elevator by pressing button
• Take your own steps
• Select floor. Go out again later
