Depression Therapy in VR: New park content & tasks
Based on feedback from clinics such as LWL Dortmund and a Median facility, our interactive VR depression module now includes:
More scenery & photo opportunities in the park
Enhanced communication elements to simulate social interaction
New puzzles and resource-based tasks
Interactive map with instant teleportation for faster orientation
These improvements promote motivation, emotional engagement, and therapeutic success.
New VR Scenarios for Anxiety Disorders
Wasp Phobia
Highly requested and now available: an immersive VR scene with adjustable features:
Number of wasps customizable
Wasps land on the virtual hand
Chase the patient in real time
Repel with a virtual newspaper
Spider Phobia
The spider can now appear on the armrest of the sofa, directly next to the patient. Goal: tolerating the situation without looking away.
Fear of Flying & Claustrophobia
The airplane scenario is now more cramped and populated – ideal for treating claustrophobic reactions and aviophobia.
Addiction Therapy: New 3P Technique Enhancements
The 3P technique (Pull – Pause – Push) is now even more effective with these updates:
Tables with drug paraphernalia can be thrown away
Cigarettes and joints can now be actively used and also pushed away
Grabbing mechanics improved for more realistic interaction with substances
This makes the digital retraining of addictive behavior more powerful – for individual or group therapy settings.
