Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy for Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress
  Disorder
From: IEEE Computer - 07/2014

Virtual reality (VR) technology is rapidly evolving to support prolonged
exposure (PE) therapy, a proven treatment for combat-related posttraumatic
stress disorder. Building on the successful 2007 Virtual Iraq/Afghanistan
VRET system, a team of behavioral scientists, software engineers, and virtual
artists has created Bravemind, a flexible VR system that offers significantly
enhanced PE treatment possibilities.

The first Web extra at http://youtu.be/EiYg-kMNMtQ is a video demonstration
of an original early virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) prototype that
shows a small section of an Iraqi city with a landing helicopter (2004).

The second Web extra at http://youtu.be/_cS-ynWZmeQ is a video demonstration
of virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) that simulates driving a Humvee in
a rural part of Iraq, showcasing several encounters, including IED and
road-side attacks (2007).

The third Web extra at http://youtu.be/78QXX_F4mc8 is a video demonstration
of virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) that simulates an overview of
several Iraqi city areas (2007).

The fourth Web extra at http://youtu.be/_AnixslkVLU is a video demonstration
of virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) that simulates a patrol entering
interior buildings in Iraq (2007).

The fifth Web extra at http://youtu.be/S22aQ-DqKKU is a video demonstration
of an original virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) tablet interface that
allows the clinician to change virtual reality settings and trigger
encounters (2007).

The sixth Web extra at http://youtu.be/C-fspuLo4vw is a video demonstration
of the Bravemind virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) prototype showing a
variety of driving and dismounted scenarios with encounters in Iraq and
Afghanistan (2013).

The seventh Web extra at http://youtu.be/HSPDomDAigg is a video collection of
Iraqi and Afghanistan virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) scenarios
within the Bravemind prototype (2013).
