Abstract
How can the group through a VR-simulation of heights give the public a better understanding of how it feels to live with a phobia?
We have specified our project’s main topic to be about mental sickness, which we later narrowed down to phobias. Our main task is to create and evaluate a realistic phobia simulation through Virtual Reality of the many harsh and horrible symptoms, that the patients undergo when facing their specific phobia triggers. We have chosen to study the symptoms and causes of acrophobia which is an extreme or irrational fear of heights.
