Immersive Virtual Reality has proven to be an extremely effective platform for understanding human behavior, whether it’s related to the individual (phobias, mental well-being) or social interactions. With the Metaverse pushing this technology to the mainstream, with over 11 million VR headsets being sold in the last year, this is a great opportunity to explore such applications.
In this workshop, Dr. Sameer Kishore, Head and Founder of the Immersive VRx Lab at Middlesex University Dubai, will describe how VR can be used as a tool for improving the ‘self’, with various applications about treating phobias, improving mental health, and reducing biases.
