Description of the scenario
When your patient puts on the VR headset and you start the scenario on the computer, your patient is instantly on a bus right next to the driver.
The patient has the following possibilities for a high degree of realism:
- Walk through the bus and sit on any seat
- Alternatively, jump directly to these seats via teleportation
- Naturally look out the window and see real scenery (greenery, cars, buildings, people)
- Hold onto the hand strap with a virtual hand
- Press the stop button
The therapist can activate the following actions in this scenario:
- Hide or show other passengers
- Individual conversations between passengers and patients
The passengers are programmed to automatically make eye contact as the patient approaches.
The bus ride is a loop of seven minutes and can be used continuously.
