neomento SAD - VR Treatment For Social Anxiety

We present the neomento project, a solution for virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy (VRET). In our work we have created specific rendering methods and virtual environments (VEs); designed and published a novel form of behavioural control for virtual agents (VA); included biophysiological measurements directly into the experience; and created an asymmetric gameplay system to assure the correct progress of a therapy session.
