Virtual cures
Article Abstract:
Virtual Reality is a new kind of therapy where cures are computer related and it is used to treat people with crippling phobias, soothe physical and mental anguish and stubborn conditions like eating disorders and addictions. Virtual Reality therapy uses a helmet that blocks out the real world and positions a goggle sized television next to the eye so that the patient can see a single image with realism and depth while headphones supply the sound.
