Abstract :
Virtual Reality technology offers great possibilities for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Fear of Public Speaking: Clients can be exposed to virtual fear-triggering stimuli (exposure) and are able to role-play in virtual environments, training social skills to overcome their fear. This poster deals with the design of a realistic virtual presentation scenario based on an observation of a real audience.
