Neo Dreamscapes puts the power of VRET (Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy) into the hands of small businesses and solo practitioners, using Dreamscapes professionals can create custom exposure environments while they are discussing the needs of their client.

Users will also have access to hundreds of pre-made environments for a variety of anxieties, phobias and afflictions.

Clients are coached through an exposure environment by a professional who can not only speak to the client virtually but can also control and make changes to the scene as the client progresses through the treatment.

Not only is dreamscapes more practical than in vivo exposure, but people are generally more willing to enter virtual versions of the situations they find anxiety-provoking because they know it’s only a simulation. It’s also easier to repeatedly try things out that are too scary or perhaps too embarrassing to try in the real world.

VR scenarios can also be graded in difficulty or even personalised for each person. In a VR study at the University of Oxford on treating fear of heights, participants began in the virtual atrium of a ten-storey building and were then able to choose which floor to go to. The idea was to begin practising on the lower, less scary floors, and work their way up as they became more confident.
