Design of a Virtual Environment Applied to Social Phobias to reduce the Treatment time in Patients

Abstract

People who suffer from social phobia, when they speak in public, have feelings of nervousness, anxiety and panic as well as experiencing it at different times in their daily lives such as at work, school, university, among others. In this work the methodology of the planning treatments was implemented. In this case study, programs were used for design and development such as Google Sketchup, Blender, and VrmlPad. The results of the virtual world design together with the methodology that was used helped to make comparisons of a different virtual world used to other needs. The development of the virtual world implemented in health clinics in Lima will help patients with social phobias of the non-generalized type, because employing the Virtual Reality treatment contributes to the improvement of the patient and in turn allows us to achieve results in a few periods of time.
