Recommendations for use
To increase the sense of immersion in Virtual Reality, you can include comments, questions or ideas in the session so the experience will seem more realistic to your patient.
Some options for driving environments:
- You are driving along a highway and there is still an hour left of driving.
- It will take two more hours to get to our destination and it’s 8 in the evening. It’s getting dark…
- Now the highway has curves and slopes. Are you scared? Of what?
- You are about to get into the car to go to work and the day is very rainy.
- Today we will drive around the town. You know that in towns there are many / a lot of cars. In addition, today we have to go by in rush hour. And by the way, your cellphone battery is dead, so you can’t call anyone to calm you down neither before nor during the trip.
- Imagine you are alone in the car. Today we will travel for 4 minutes/10 minutes/30 minutes…
- Picture yourself driving and that someone is recording you in case you need to get points taken off.
- We are driving down a road packed with trucks. Yes, and you know that trucks sometimes overtake each other.
- In this section, you must go 62m/h because if you go over this speed, you will obstruct traffic.
- Now we are going to enter a tunnel. How long do you think the tunnel is? What do you feel when you see that the tunnel is longer than you expected?
- If the car in front of you were to derail, do you think you would have time to react?
