I wonder if it can be used in VR mode for people with agoraphobia or social anxiety.

  Wouldn't simulated environment cause similar anxiety effects? Like I'm very scared of snakes IRL, I'm confident i won't enjoy looking at them in VR either

    I think the purpose is to overcome that anxiety which requires you to be to be exposed. Maybe looking at vr snakes could help you :)

    The idea is to do this in session with a therapist, or at least under guidance. By exposing yourself safely to a trigger reducing the effects (like a fight or flight response for example)

  If anyone is interested I put a list together last year for someone who was looking at VR for public speaking coaching due to social anxiety and not sure what the current state of the art is or where these folks are now other than the web sites are all still up.
