New updates in the software for addictions
In addition to the right objects, such as bottles, glasses or other substances, another crucial factor for VR applications is the right atmosphere that needs to be created.
The mood in certain situations can have a strong influence on the addictive pressure. And only then does this exposure become a realistic simulation in which the experience of the emerging addictive pressure and the correct way to deal with it can be gained.
The existing scenarios and functions, such as the apartment (with or without guests), the supermarket or a visit to a bar with slot machines, can already create many different moods.
In the current update we have added a few more
In the apartment, you can now pick up the remote control and turn on the radio on the TV. Not just one station, but you can choose between ten different and real radio stations that are received in real time. This way, you can add even more atmosphere to the party with guests. Or fall into melancholy when you are sitting alone on the sofa and listening to a certain song.
We were also able to implement a completely new and often requested scenario:
Grilling outside when the weather is nice!
Imagine the sun is shining, you open the grill, the sausages are sizzling away and the chicken is already on the table. Next to it is an ice bowl with a chilled beer and white wine just waiting to be opened and poured.
Your patients no longer have to imagine this, but rather this is exactly what they do in this new scenario. And here too, of course, it is about resisting the emerging desire for that cold beer and, for example, taking the water or thinking of another alternative action.
But this update is also about entirely positive emotions
How does it feel to have achieved it? To have remained truly stable and abstinent? Is it comparable to reaching a peak? Maybe. That’s why your patients can climb to a peak. And get a taste of the success of what it will be like when you have achieved something great.
