The Real

In recent years, immersive virtual reality technology (IVR) has seen a substantial improvement in its quality, affordability, and ability to simulate the real world. Virtual reality in psychology can be used for three basic purposes: immersion, simulation, and a combination of both. While the psychological implementations of IVR have been predominately used with adults, this review seeks to update our knowledge about the uses and effectiveness of IVR with children. Specifically, its use as a tool for pain distraction, neuropsychological assessment, and skills training. Results showed that IVR is a useful tool when it is used either for immersive or simulative purposes (e.g., pain distraction, neuropsychological assessment), but when its use requires both simulation (of the real world) and immersion (e.g., a vivid environment), it is trickier to implement effectively.

BackgroundSelf-criticism is a ubiquitous feature of psychopathology and can be combatted by increasing levels of self-compassion. However, some patients are resistant to self-compassion.AimsTo investigate whether the effects of self-identification with virtual bodies within immersive virtual reality could be exploited to increase self-compassion in patients with depression.MethodWe developed an 8-minute scenario in which 15 patients practised delivering compassion in one virtual body and then experienced receiving it from themselves in another virtual body.ResultsIn an open trial, three repetitions of this scenario led to significant reductions in depression severity and self-criticism, as well as to a significant increase in self-compassion, from baseline to 4-week follow-up. Four patients showed clinically significant improvement.ConclusionsThe results indicate that interventions using immersive virtual reality may have considerable clinical potential and that further development of these methods preparatory to a controlled trial is now warranted.

Background. Laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity in the last few decades replacing open standard techniques in several procedures. While its use and scope expand, a standardized method of training and assessment in laparoscopic skills is lacking. Aim. To assess the effect of virtual reality (VR) training on laparoscopic surgical skills. Materials and Methods. It is a prospective, controlled study conducted at Sagar Hospital’s skill lab and Shanthi Hospital and Research Centre (SHRC). We included 27 post graduates in general surgery. They were divided into two groups. One group underwent training in VR Simulator for one week, 30 minutes each day. The second group received no training. Their proficiency while mobilizing the Gallbladder from its liver bed was assessed using a validated scale by a single blinded observer. Results. The statistical analysis was done using a non-parametric test (Mann-Whitney U test). Residents who underwent training in VR simulator got better scores in Overall rating and also in individual parameters when compared with the control group (P = <0.05). Conclusions. Laparoscopic surgical skills can be increased by using proficiency-based VR simulator training and it can be transferred to actual operations. VR simulators are a valid tool for laparoscopic surgical skills training.
