Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Immersive virtual reality (VR) therapy provides a novel approach for treating severe phobias in patients with neurodivergent conditions and sensory sensitivities. This study investigates the design and efficacy of VR environments tailored to address specific phobic triggers while accommodating sensory preferences. Results highlight significant reductions in anxiety levels and improvements in coping mechanisms, demonstrating the therapeutic potential of VR in specialized mental health interventions.
