Abstract
|
|
|
Though, the term “Virtual Reality” might be no more a strange word to the most of people in this century, a few people have experience and knowledge about the exact meaning of this term. Through the human history, men proved their ability to make dream come true what they imagine or dream of. Tremendous evolution of computer technology has been able to make feel virtual reality as real. Through this review, I’d like to provide the readers with a notion on virtual reality and computer simulation technologies and how they are being used as an adjunct in a variety of mental health care applications.
There would be no exhaustive review of all available applications or studies within a particular discipline, but is meant rather as a example of the exciting work which is being done in VR throughout the world. The whole ideas that the authors tries to explain mainly came from the author’s own experience. My hope is that this might serve as a catalyst to meet the reader’s expectation and encourage further learning about how technology can improve mental health care and eventually allow greater access to broader range of population.
