Details

UnVRap, a B2B VR SaaS solution, aims to revolutionize the treatment of phobias through immersive virtual reality experiences. The project involves developing a prototype of a software application that adheres to systematic desensitization protocols. The goal is to create a series of VR scenarios that gradually expose patients to their fears, starting from the least anxiety-inducing situation to the most feared, real-life-like scenario. This progressive exposure is designed to help patients overcome their phobias in a controlled and therapeutic environment. The project will require the application of classroom knowledge in software development, user experience design, and VR technology. The team will focus on creating a seamless and effective user experience that can be easily integrated into UnVRap's existing platform.

Deliverables

The deliverables for this project include a functional prototype of the VR phobia treatment application. The prototype should feature a series of VR scenarios that follow systematic desensitization protocols. Additionally, the team will provide documentation outlining the design process, user experience considerations, and technical specifications. A presentation demonstrating the prototype's functionality and potential impact on phobia treatment will also be required.
