“…We found that rather than trying to replicate every aspect of the physical environment, researchers carefully considered the level of detail needed for each element. We also found that interdisciplinary collaboration is required to conceptualize, plan, design, and execute a VR study to examine behaviors (Metsis et al, 2019;Neo et al, 2019). We provided some sample workflows illustrated with examples from published work.…”

What are strategies for the design of immersive virtual environments (IVEs) to understand environments’ influence on behaviors? To answer this question, we conducted a systematic review to assess peer-reviewed publications and conference proceedings on experimental and proof-of-concept studies that described the design, manipulation, and setup of the IVEs to examine behaviors influenced by the environment. Eighteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Our review identified key categories and proposed strategies in the following areas for consideration when deciding on the level of detail that should be included when prototyping IVEs for human behavior research: 1) the appropriate level of detail (primarily visual) in the environment: important commonly found environmental accessories, realistic textures, computational costs associated with increased details, and minimizing unnecessary details, 2) context: contextual element, cues, and animation social interactions, 3) social cues: including computer-controlled agent-avatars when necessary and animating social interactions, 4) self-avatars, navigation concerns, and changes in participants’ head directions, and 5) nonvisual sensory information: haptic feedback, audio, and olfactory cues.

“…Therefore, VR may be effective on its own. It should be noted that the sample of students tested showed PSA symptoms prior to treatment [8]. These were detected with standardized self-report scales [6].…”

“…This allows users to experience situations similar to those in the real world [19], such as facing an oral presentation in an auditorium or virtual classroom [20,21]. In addition, 360º recording technology generates virtual environments with greater realism [8]. These environments are so real that some studies claim that virtual spectators in a classroom can affect people's beliefs, anxiety, and behavior [7,22,23].…”

Public speaking anxiety (PSA) is a common phobia in the student population. Traditionally, exposure therapy has been used as a treatment. However, the use of virtual reality (VR) is increasingly common to treat PSA. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the published scientific literature on VR as a treatment for PSA in students. The articles indexed in two databases (Web of Science and Scopus) were analyzed, with a time period from the beginning of the first publications until 2019 included. The systematic literature review was based on fixed inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 13 studies were identified which included 481 students. The results collected indicate that the duration of treatments to have positive effects was at least one week, where the number of sessions was between one and twelve. Furthermore, most VR treatments reported positive effects. Finally, this study showed evidence that VR treatment for PSA is effective while being less invasive than in vivo exposure.

“…These cues for anxiety were then communicated to a team of graphic design and computer science students, who developed the virtual space with multiple iterations of student and social work faculty feedback sessions designed to review development progress and hone design to implement these cues. Several scenarios, including a crowded university walkway, an elevator, and a grocery store were then prototyped with veterans (Metsis et al 2019). Using this rapid prototyping process, the final grocery store design was identified as the most generalizable and feasible environment for working with veterans to address social anxiety.…”

Virtual Reality Exposure Simulation for Student Veteran Social Anxiety and PTSD: A Case Study

Exposure based exercises are a common element of many gold standard treatments for anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder and virtual reality simulations have been evaluated as a platform for providing clients with opportunities for repeated exposure during treatment. Although research on virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) indicates effectiveness and high levels of user satisfaction, VRETs require a participant to complete exposure exercises in-offices with specialized equipment. The current exploratory case method study evaluates the experience and outcomes of one student veteran with social anxiety disorder and PTSD completing twelve sessions of VRET exposure using a mobile phone simulation of a virtual grocery store. The participant reported decreases in psychological symptoms, improvements in neurological connectivity, and better sleep quality upon completing the trial. Results suggest that VRET using a mobile application is feasible and warrants further research to evaluate effectiveness more fully. Implications include the use of a mobile based virtual reality simulation for intervening in social anxiety for student veterans.
