Abstract

In order to treat this, patients are usually subjected to cognitive behavior therapy. With the rise of virtual reality, a technique known as virtual reality exposure therapy emerged which can be used to treat patients with acrophobia. It has a number advantage over traditional methods while being able to produce the same results. In this project, a system is proposed entitled, Acrophobia VRET, which aims to supplement therapists in treating patients with acrophobia. Keywords:
