According to foreign media reports, British Airways will provide VR headsets for selected first-class flights between London Heathrow Airport and new york Kennedy Airport to ease flight fears.
According to reports, VR programs include 2D movies, documentaries and TV programs, and 3D and 360-degree formats. Guided meditation helps those who are afraid of flying to relax their nerves. Air France cooperated with srilankan airlines to provide this suit in the lounge. According to reports, Qantas and Alaska Airlines have also tested VR equipment before, but considering that it is quite difficult to flip 180 degrees in economy class seats, it is not widely used.
Some people who are afraid of heights, or people who are afraid of climbing mountains, can carry VR equipment through some modern treatments, such as helmets, because people know that this is not true and is in a virtual environment. In the video, they can stand on the balcony of the theater or on the roof to reduce their fears step by step. And the whole process is completely gamified and animated. So they won't be afraid, and even like it, which opens the door for treating some phobias.
Through relevant research, this method of treating phobia can also be used for those who can't afford medical expenses or don't want to be treated by a therapist at present. Patients don't have to leave their house at all, and they can receive treatment through the operation of therapists, which is helpful to treat acrophobia and various phobias.
VR is very effective in treating acrophobia and phobia, and the treatment cost is not high. Through the research of related scientists, it can be proved that comprehensive and effective treatment methods can be developed without expensive equipment. This independent application keeps the medical expenses low and the treatment effect is remarkable. Recently, Britain transplanted this VR headset to British Airways, which is expected to have a certain effect on people who are afraid of flying or heights, and can overcome the fear of flying.
