healthcare, education, military training, and architecture.
● Although popular for gaming, it has been used to help in the treatment of
phobias, addictions, eating disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and to reduce the levels of pain during
medical procedures.

feel you are physically inside the virtual environment.
● Visiting a virtual beach can create the same reactions, thoughts and feelings
as if you were really at the beach.
● Relax VR features virtual natural environments and meditation which have
both been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
● They work to reduce cortisol and adrenaline levels in the bloodstream,
increasing brain waves in the slow theta range.
● These changes create a positive mood, and the feeling of being highly relaxed.
