Virtual Reality, so loved by Gamers is being utilised to help people get over their fear of heights. Oxfordvr which is a spinout company of Oxford University and part of Oxford Sciences Innovation is using Virtual Reality systems to treat a range of mental health conditions and fears. Currently ‘VR Therapy’ is being used to cure a fear of heights. One in five people are significantly affected by Acrophobia.
In a randomised trial of 100 people that had been living with a fear of heights for an average of 30 years those that received the VR Therapy, on average experienced a reduction in their fear of heights by 68%.
The participants of the trial were reassessed a month later by questionnaire which revealed that 69% of them no longer had a fear of heights.
