Grounding / Review

Container

​

​

Supports Existing Tools

EMDR

​Rapid eye movement achieved, using a moving dot anchored to visual field.

Audio cues also optional

Prolonged Exposure

Traumatic memories broken down into parts "focal points", allowing patient to resume progress seamlessly.

Multiple VR Modules

  1. Calm Transition Environments
    Peaceful VR environments (Alpine meadow, cozy cabin, beach) used to ground patient before session

  2. Focused Trauma Scenes
    Built from patient memory, include visual, audio and imagery cues

  3. Reintegration Exposure
    Normal real-world environments that create barriers (crowded restaurant, cinema, public transit)

Screen Mirroring

VR Headset feed is visible in real-time on Laptop control panel. Clinician can see exactly what the patient sees.

​

Clinicians control VR experience:

  • pause / resume session

  • toggle audio - ambience or voice

  • toggle images - family photos etc

  • adjust intensity - blur visuals
    (passthrough scaling)
