CrossReality - Interreality

Interreality in Practice: Bridging Virtual and Real Worlds in the Treatment of PTSD

The main feature of Interreality is a twofold link between the virtual and real worlds: (a) behavior in the physical world influences the

experience in the virtual one; (b) behavior in the virtual world influences the

experience in the real one. This is achieved through 3D shared virtual worlds; biosensors and activity sensors and personal digital assistants and/or mobile phones

Cross Reality - Smart Condo A sensor network records a variety

of events and environmental parameters and feeds the related data into our Web-based system. This system is responsible for inferring higher-order information about the activities of the condo's occupant and supporting the visualization of the collected information in a 2D Geographic Information System (GIS) and a 3D virtual world, namely Second Life (SL).

Consideraçôes

Professional associations have created codes of ethics and organizations who use or release records to organizations who utilize insurance reimbursement must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). These ethics, regulations and standards naturally extend to treatment conducted in a virtual world setting. The Center for BrainHealth is taking steps to ensure best practice is followed, helping to create a standard of care in the industry.
