Virtual reality (VR) is an advanced and useful technology in the distraction from pain. The efficacy of VR for reducing pain is well established. Yet, the literature analyzing the unique attributes of VR which impact pain reduction is scarce. The present study evaluated the effect of two VR environments on experimental pain levels. Both VR environments are games used with an EyeToy application ...

The objectives of this study were to determine whether different virtual reality environments (VR) had a differential effect on pain threshold (PT) in stroke patients with pain, and whether the patient’s level of interest in the VR influenced PT. Ten stroke individuals with pain participated. PT to hot and cold stimuli was determined using Quantitative sensory testing within four different VEs;...

Researchers and clinicians have recently begun using Virtual Reality (VR) to create immersive and interactive cue exposure paradigms. The current study aimed to assess the effectiveness of individual cue exposure therapy (CET), using smoking-related VR cues (smoking-VR) as a smoking cessation treatment compared to a placebo-VR (neutral cue) treatment. The sample consisted of healthy treatment-s...

BACKGROUND Vancomycin-resistant (VR) Enterococcus faecium is increasingly found to colonize and infect hospitalized patients. Enterococci are frequently isolated from polymicrobial infections originating from the intestines. The impact of VR E. faecium on these infections and vice versa is not clear. METHODS Mice were intestinally colonized with VR E. faecium during oral vancomycin treatment;...

Recently, people emerge as a contents provider with increasing usage of Internet in our daily life. People produces large portion of multimedia contents served on the Web.

In this paper, we proposed VR@Home, a personal VR studio platform for personal broadcasting at home. VR@Home platf...

Virtual-reality (VR) therapy has been distinguished from other psychotherapy interventions through the use of computer-assisted interventions that rely on the concepts of "immersion," "presence," and "synchrony." In this work, these concepts are defined, and their uses, within the VR treatment architecture, are discussed. VR therapy's emphasis on the incorporation of biofeedback and meditation,...
