Virtual Reality is a vast Landscape.; anything can be created within virtual reality to simulate, engage, and entertain the user. The only limiting factor is the designer's imagination. One particular use case showing the flexibility of virtual reality that may not be known is PTSD and Anxiety Disorders.

Have you ever found yourself preparing for a possible impact in stop and go traffic, an obvious jump scare in a horror movie, or greeting a loved one during a routine visit? This “mind/body preparation” is a brain mechanism called embodied simulation.

Many research studies have been published supporting virtual reality’s use in alleviating and reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and pain for individuals. Virtual reality has the unique ability to remove the patient from their current state and immerse all of their senses into a much more enjoyable and distracting experience to help manage various psychiatric disorders.
