Using Virtual Reality to Treat PTSD

45 Comments

1. To those 44 people that dislike Jody Mitic showing off different ways to deal with PTSD fuck you

2. Have they done any more improvements? I see this is a couple years old.

3. onward is better for this purpose purpose

4. I came here from Watchmojo because I thought I recognized Jody

5. Which head tracker are you using on your hmz-t1(the virtual reality helmet)?

6. Isn't this a simulator using Bohemia's engine?

7. idk why but Rizzo reminds me of Steven Seagal 😀

8. Steve Seagall

9. Put him in Oculus and shove him into a set piece in a Battlefield game. Nothing cures PTSD like a Michael Bay action sequence.

10. Nice Alienware computer.

11. beautiful video

12. The makers of call of duty should be teaming up with you to improve graphics and accuracy of the game play. What is taking them so long to join in – have you reached out to them?

13. why cut corners on any project like this? reach out to the companies that have the base of what youre trying to accomplish.

14. use Arma 3 and work with Bohemia

15. Why not use ARMA 3?

16. good stuff

17. couldn't they have had better graphics? like use arma 2 for it? or just up the grpahics a bit, kinda hard to simulate it when it looks like its from 2002

18. I don't agree with this one bit. I have severe PTSD. Don't see how this can help. The only thing I can see it doing is causing more and more problems.

19. how about virtual reality + psychedelics?

20. Immersion and willing suspension of disbelief. Wonderful use. Glad the uses go beyond war to civilian uses.

21. and thats why we need sword art online nerv gear

22. I wish treyarch or one of those big game houses could donate their game engines to help these people get part of their lives back…

23. I hope this get funded like it deserves.

24. Damn I really wanna try that saloon game lol.

25. Hmm.. maybe you could move your head virtually with out moving your head in real live.. and maybe.. Sword Art Online!!

26. Imagine playing outlast with this

27. Give this to fucking tumblr users

28. wait until they boot Arma 3 into this thing

29. Oculus Rift!

30. Love that theme at the end

31. I think this whole thing looks promising. But one thing that is not sitting well with me at all is, how the guy said Call of Duty cost 250 Mil to make and how their budget could not get anywhere near that. How the hell could they not donate, (give whatever you want to call it) the Call of Duty engine to this cause? From what I understand and I could very well be wrong, so please correct me if I am, but the engine is the most expensive part. After that its just making the storyline/map. I don't know. Just what I was thinking.

    carry on.

32. 3:09 The VR headset looks like the teaser version of Project Morpheus.

33. this can "only" help? how about not go to war i think that would help even more

34. That's a prototype of Sony's VR headset!

35. haha im diggin his song about the jellyfish. that was a good tune!

36. Man i really feel like COD and BF4 should help this company's update their graphics and mechanics to better help this soldiers relive this things that have happened to them to hopefully help them get over it. because i mean both this company's are making games about our soldiers and making millions off dollars from it so the least they can do is maybe get some of their workers to help fix the game and maybe give them some things from their games and Engines to help out 

37. this guy looks like steven segal

38. "Poor" US soldiers went to Afghanistan to save the world against terror and make it a better place so they can "civilize" it. But as every comics hero they ended up with post war scar called PTSD or Shellshock as they used to call it before. Now new jobs and businesses can be created after to treat them to make your world "better" place, just wonderful! U made it once again, first u bomb and shoot, then u ask questions after that u offer loans and start to rebuild countries u destroyed by creating more jobs for your filthy money to keep on flowing. U didnt free anybody, u didnt established anything, only thing u did properly is that u fuck up others more than u fuck up yourselves. This VR might help u to treat your wounds in the virtual world but the real world and real people will never forget what u did to them.

39. It's a novel idea in that you have the ability to single out a persons trigger that caused the PTSD, but I find the lack of realism to be counter intuitive to your goals. In order for this to work, it has to look and sound so real that it can induce fear in a safe environment. Coming from an 8 year combat vet, I hope this helps somehow.

40. If only big corporations would help but they only care about money… Not the people who defend them

41. I didn't know Steven Segal was treating PTSD these days

42. Can they do this with math tests ptmtd

43. no fucking way Kitchener Ontario!!

44. maybe I should play dayz in VR to overcome my PTSD from being kidnapped? lol lock the thing to my head , get surround sound.

45. They talked about Call of Duty costing 250 million dollars.  I think COD and could afford to donate some time and there expertise to help people/troops with PTSD.  This could be a real option to help people.
