Virtual Reality is a useful tool to aid in phobia treatment. Since 1995 it has been used to help people with airplane travel phobia, also been employed against various anxiety disturbs. In this work we deploy a virtual environment which resembles an airport, which aims at raising anxiety levels similar to those resulting of the equivalent real environment exposure. The goal is to aid in ptesiophobia treatment.
