For more than a decade, virtual reality (VR) has had a significant impact on behavioral healthcare, permeating the field with its multiple effective uses. One area in which VR shines is providing a continuum of care for the military to treat wounded warfighters. The Interactive Media Institute and its affiliate the Virtual Reality Medical Center are funded to provide VR as an adjunct to traditional training and therapeutic applications.
