Virtual Reality Training in Scuba Diving — Inoculation from Panic-Stress
The following is an interesting letter from Dr. David Colvard. Reply to him.
I have spent part of this morning talking with Ken Graap, President &
CEO, and Emilio Coirini, Jr., Director, Business Development of Virtually
Better http://www.virtuallybetter.com/ in Decatur, Georgia, about using
their virtual reality system in scuba diving, especially in new diver training
and panic-stress inoculation. This approach has already been shown to be
the best treatment approach to help people overcome flying phobias and other
settings.
Thank you for your support of my research in the past. Do you think
there would be any interest in developing or testing virtual reality in the
scuba diving setting?
