How This Headset Can Heal Trauma in a Virtual World

Over the past 30 years, virtual reality in the healthcare space has evolved from a radical research topic to a powerful clinical tool. Proponents contend VR can help doctors and mental health professionals reach under-served populations while providing assessments and interventions that weren't previously possible. VR is already proving invaluable as a therapeutic strategy for people coping with issues ranging from PTSD to chronic pain.

what do you do when people start experiencing PTSD from VR? Then what?

[@aaa-vx8ke]

They won’t let that happen

[@axios7603]

just tell your therapist duh * thinking meme *

[@zylnexxd842]

Thats can't happen. U can't get Trauma from Realistic games. Though realistic movies like Saving Private Ryan can reignite PTSD in Veterans who have experienced it

[@PeteKay]

@@zylnexxd842 anyone can get secondary PTSD from any event perceived in their minds as traumatic. Likewise, too real a simulator could have effects opposite of their intended tx. We are still in VR infancy.

[@Wangan_W]

I could see how this could work. Just add a haptic suit for feedback.

[@Dannydrinkbottom]

won't lie, I never thought of virtual reality for this use case. This industry in the future will be massive.

[@코코와마콤]

That graphic just like 00's VR attraction in amusement park

[@aifan6148]

Is the treatment expensive? Can Gov subsidise it?

[@xelefonte]

*This was subtly one nice long 16 minute commercial for the VR game, Bravemind.*

[@stanislavkraus4365]

This is great. I’m glad for the patients. With love, compassion, and freedom on Earth there would be much less or no need to heal people from war related diseases. 🕊

[@ParsMaker]

Amazing

VR headset : its super fun, causes itchiness on your scalp. causes sore eyes after like 2 hours

[@Dochdochdoch01]

Black Mirror!! All Over Again!!

[@ShubhamSinghYoutube]

I have PTSD from playing COD MW, I'll treat it with playing it on VR. Lol. Jk, trauma is a serious thing.

[@mr.mojorisin9999]

I dont appreciate your hypnotic beats, whats your angle

[@Phlegethon]

We’re obviously just moving towards a world where VR is as realistic as possible, both interesting and scary at the same time what those implications are

[@ml48963]

But you can't replicate the smell of being outsi--oh, you can.

[@namechange4919]

Companies that specialize in aromatherapy could be a useful partner in recreating olfactory experiences. The development of synthetic human pheromones would revolutionize this field of psychology.

[@jaredspencer3304]

It's not exactly pheromones, but there was a company that made an attachment to VR masks that could release a whole range of different smells. But then it was ruled to be a vape product and was shutdown :/ I agree, though, pheromones would be game changing.

[@namechange4919]

@@jaredspencer3304 That's too bad it was shut down. Luddites in government should be held accountable imo. I was trained in olfactory sensory evaluation in a winemaking class. The company that produced the scent viles were capable of extracting and/or synthetically producing accurate smells from almost anything. I'm sure they would enjoy the challenge of producing kits for PSTD therapy. You can undo irrational associations with exposure therapy. It is taking Pavlov's work and applying it to brain science.

Black Mirror episode in a nutshell

[@gustheswampdonkey]

How is this doing now

[@adike5]

just play gta vr

[@thai9503]

Worst graphics ever

[@SkipRizzoClinicalVR]

It was built on a shoestring...how about you raise the funding to do it better. And the DATA show that it still works even at this level of graphic fidelity. I reached out to EA years ago to help with the graphics as a public service. All I heard back was crickets.

[@thai9503]

@@SkipRizzoClinicalVR make it open source

[@gautamchaure5973]

Vr is also amazing thing for designing in 3D

[@thelemoneater]

yea, its great for quickly getting ideas out, kinda wish it was easier to pull references into stuff like gravity sketch though.

[@johnnybravohonk6964]

With lack of devs and GPU shortage the only end result can be an overpriced treatment for rich people.

[@keepcreationprocess]

You would nt solve the real problem

[@thai9503]

Next up, traumatized by simulation.

[@bharadwajkrishnan2860]

Ready player one

[@minnerminful]

I asked my ai friend about having a body she said she would rather manipulate time and test out different realities

[@ajaykumar-gi1ey]

And ask how can she do it. So we can do right now

People at one point saw PCs as nothing more than gaming devices too. And look at where we are.

[@alessandron1360]

Mmm no. Computers were born for professional purposes first and later used for gaming.

[@0x0michael]

Alessandro wrong, computers were used for gaming before consumer software like word processors existed

[@guardianoffire8814]

@@0x0michael Your thinking of consoles that were specifically designed for gaming like Atari. Yes they were a type of computer but you could do nothing else on them. The first actual computers were used for number crunching as large room sized calculators by researchers using punch cards..

[@dahasolomon7314]

@@guardianoffire8814 well yes but those weren't exactly pc's and were not available to the general public. I'm not exactly sure of the exact name or even date but I've read that the 1st commercial PCs where gaming devices.
