Forget about FEAR of HEIGHTS with VR

Fear of height

Hello everyone, today our team will introduce you to one of the ten most common phobias in the world - acrophobia.

Acrophobia is a mental health condition in which the individual experiences an intense fear of heights.

Most often, acrophobia occurs in children who have experienced severe stress due to an unsuccessful fall from a height. Negative experience is firmly fixed in the subconscious, causing further insurmountable fear even in situations where there are no serious reasons for panic.

According to statistics, approximately 6% of tearth's inhabitantsrth have acrophobia.

People who experience phobia are triggered by various circumstances which can be faced in everyday life, and we must cope with the fears in the right way. There is no need to panic, you can overcome every phobia with therapy!

As we have already discovered in the previous posts, that can be cured with mental imagery while using your imagination to visualize a real-life situation of height, also that can be trained using real-life therapy – stand on the ledge of the skyscraper and you’ll feel better in a minute!

Let’s be honest, these methods have big disadvantages and do not seem like a real solution for those who believe to cope with the phobia themselves.

Using your imagination to visualize skyscrapers, rooftops or even canyons is a challenging task, as sometimes we can’t even visualize someone's face that we met a few days ago. Also, you won’t be fully immersed in the situation of fear while sitting on the chair and trying to push yourself into a situation where you haven’t ever been.

Real-life therapy is the opposite of Mental Imagery, as it is dangerous enough for life - without special preparations, you can have a heart attack, blood pressure, and anything you wouldn’t expect!

The world needs a solution, which is easy to use, safe enough, effective, and innovative, that will allow using the power of digital technologies to bring deep immersion to the training sessions!
