virtual reality and psychological treatments

Virtual reality is also used for neurological treatments. Psychologists are using Virtual Reality to cure fears by bit by bit exposing patients to feared elements or situations in a controlled, virtual-reality setting. This helps patients to develop psychological control and surmount their fears. The destructive effects of long-term pain can be limited by periodic immersion in virtual reality. The virtual reality experience is beneficial by taking attention away from the pain. The page on Interaction and Information Design Resources delves into interesting topics.

Virtual reality can be productively applied for medical instruction and research. Given the aid of virtual visual and kinesthetic systems, robotic artificially constructed "patients" simulate the look, feel, and response of real patients for physicians who are learning how to diagnose illness and provide treatments. Advanced haptic systems allow physicians-in-training to move their hands along with the recorded hand motion of an expert to learn the expert's technique. Medical schools can lead to collections of artificially constructed and/or robotic patients with unusual ailments that medical students would probably not otherwise see "first hand." In the area of medical study, Virtual Reality (VR) is used molecular modeling, drug discovery, genomics, and other virtual biology applications. Also Virtual Tours Fontana, California discusses more regarding this topic.
