Fear of heights? Fear of public speaking? You will now be able to participate in a series of trainings using Samsung’s #BeFearless VR app to help them overcome these fears. The virtual reality app was co-developed with medical professionals to learn how exposure to challenging situations through VR can help you master your fears in real life.
Based on Samsung’s two-week research with medical professionals at the Yonsei University Gangnam Severance Hospital in South Korea, a success rate of nearly 90 percent was achieved in reducing 82 participants’ anxiety from public speaking and heights through the #BeFearless VR training.
