THERAPY AND SUPPORT

Authentic. Anonymous. Accessible. 

Authentic.

VR Avatar embodiment allows for the study and awareness of self-perception, emotion, and identity. It also creates a sense of personal, social, and environmental presence.

Virtual Reality (VR) provides a tangible feeling of group presence through lifelike avatars that can gesture, direct their gaze, and manipulate and pass objects. Distraction free environments focus attention and increase engagement and particpation. 

Anonymous.

Avatars allow users to exert boundary control upon others’ access to one’s body and personal information, increasing privacy and  in some cases, wellbeing.

VR breaks down certain barriers surrounding traditional therapy and support. By masking the identity of the participant with a virtual avatar, issues of social stigma and discomfort in public settings are lessened, resulting in more open and meaningful interactions.

Accessible.

89% of patients with phobias prefer VR exposure therapy to traditional exposure therapy. This can increase accessibility to exposure therapy since“in vivo” exposure of fear of flying or fear of  heights is a costly and challenging process.

VR removes the need to travel to a physical location, eliminating expenses, logistics, and time. Additionally, Foretell Reality works with our partners to ensure therapeutic environments are HIPAA compliant.
