VR research at the University of Würzburg
At the Department of Psychology I of the University of Würzburg, the VR simulation system is used by the research groups for Biological Psychology, Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy ›› sowie Experimental Clinical Psychology ›› in five VR labs. The system is used to operate a fear of flying and driving simulator with motion simulation, a PowerWall lab, and a five-sided CAVE. Selected VR studies are presented on the following VR VR project page ››.
VR research at the University of Regensburg
At the Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at the University of Regensburg ››, the VR simulation system is used to optimize empirical research in the research areas of clinical psychology, psychotherapy, and security research.
VR Therapy Research at the University Outpatient Clinic for Psychotherapy of the University of Würzburg
The University Outpatient Clinic for Psychotherapy uses virtual worlds developed at the University of Würzburg in conjunction with the simulation system „CS-Research“ to support anxiety therapy, in particular in the treatment of fear of flying with a motion simulator. Further information can be found on the pages of the University Outpatient Clinic ››.
VR research at Münster University Hospital
The Anxiety and Depression Research Group, headed by Prof. Dr. Arolt, uses the VR simulation system for research into new therapy methods and basic research using virtual reality. Among other things, the system is used in the therapy study ›› „Physiological reactions in virtual reality for height phobia“ as well as in SFB-TRR58 ›› Projekt C09 – „SPIDER-VR“ ››.
