Patients who suffered persecutory delusions were encouraged to step into a computer-generated Underground train carriage and a lift. The simulations allowed the study’s 30 patients to learn social situations they feared were actually safe. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-36053058 Link […]

It has 20×20 resolution, is fully interactive and absolutely no lag! https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/plastic . I have to say I was very excited to see what Google had to offer next…. (thanks Lizzie!) Samsung Gear VR On to more virtual […]
