What is Virtual Reality therapy?
Goals of VR therapy
This approach allows patients to learn how to cope with difficult situations through controlled exposure – an effective method for treating anxiety, addiction, and OCD.
Real-time guidance by therapists
Therapists guide the sessions and can individually adjust many elements through the therapist software on a desktop computer, for example the size and number of spiders or the reactions of the audience.
All VR scenarios are interactive and controllable — ensuring that treatment remains safe, structured, and manageable.
The effectiveness of VR therapy is now scientifically proven
VR therapy achieves treatment outcomes comparable to classical in-vivo therapy, but shows lower dropout rates and requires less organizational effort. This has been demonstrated by numerous international studies as well as studies from Germany.
