Abstract

Four VR scenarios were designed and the parameters that increase anxiety levels may be controlled and modified, allowing the development of exposure levels. Typical situations that evoke physical and cognitive symptoms of agoraphobia were identified through the semi-structured interviews of people with higher levels of agoraphobic symptoms.
