Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy

Overcoming a range of challenges that traditional therapy faces, virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) yields great potential for the treatment of phobias such as acrophobia, the fear of heights. We investigate this potential and present playful user-generated treatment (PUT), a novel game-based approach for VRET.
