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.

This is because the mood in certain situations can have a strong influence on the pressure of addiction. And only then does this exposure become a realistic simulation in which the experiences of the emerging addictive pressure and the correct handling of it can be made.

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 take 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 sit alone on the sofa and listen 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 and the chicken is already at the table. Next to it is an ice cream bowl with a chilled beer and white wine, just waiting to be opened and poured.

Your patients no longer have to imagine this, but that’s exactly what they do in this new scenario. And here, too, of course, it is a matter of resisting the emerging craving for this 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 made it? To have remained really stable and abstinent? Is that comparable to a summit that you have reached? Perhaps. That’s why your patients can go to a summit. And taste a little bit of success, as it will be when you have achieved something great.
