In today's world, many people suffer from various phobias and for these phobias, psychiatrists and therapists recommend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The goal of our project is to develop a virtual environment which can be used in the field of Phobia treatment as a base exposure therapy session. Implementation of this virtual environment not only cuts down cost expenses of conducting actual physical sessions, but also helps the patient to experience a glimpse of the physical exposure, helping the patient to become more comfortable and overcome their fear of particular phobia. The implemented application is installed on an android device. This will guide the patient by exposing to different virtual environment. An X-Box controller allows the patient to have full control of his/her moments and exposure.
