In social sciences and psychology, virtual reality offers a cost-effective tool to study and replicate interactions in a controlled environment. It can be used as a form of therapeutic intervention. For instance, there is the case of the virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET), a form of exposure therapy for treating anxiety disorders such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and phobias. "Researchers quickly recognized that the technology was a great fit for providing exposure therapy, in which patients are exposed to thing they fear in a safe place. As a patient makes progress confronting his or her fears, the virtual scene can be adjusted to make the feared stimulus more provocative. (Albert Rizzo PhD.")
