The therapeutic potential of virtual environments for the treatment of mental health issues is enormous. Practical applications of the technology include exposure, systematic desensitization, self-regulation, self-compassion to name a few.

The psychological impact of a VR experience on patients can be profound and long-lasting mainly because VR feels real. Motor and perceptual systems interact with the virtual world in a manner similar to how they do in the physical world.  The body moves naturally creating a sense of presence. A term psychologists call embodied cognition.

Research in psychology empirically proved that VR is an effective therapy technique that can promote behavioral change. Our goal is to further research virtual reality as an effective therapeutic tool that can be used by professionals and patients as treatment support.

We believe VR has the potential to assist patients in the process of healing mental illness.
