Resumen
Esta investigación se enmarca en la aplicación de Realidad Virtual (RV) para el desarrollo de sistemas que permitan el tratamiento de trastornos psicológicos, en particular a la acrofobia. La acrofobia es un miedo intenso a los lugares elevados, lo que conlleva la evitación de situaciones relacionadas con la altura. En este trabajo se estudiará y analizara las herramientas que usamos para lograr la construcción de un entorno virtual que simule una ciudad pequeña con edificios altos, con el objetivo de que el paciente realice una terapia de choque al ser expuesto dentro del entorno virtual en una situación donde deba atravesar edificios altos sobre un puente de cristal, esto bajo la compañía y supervisión de un psicólogo quien evaluara la reacción del paciente al momento de ejecutar la terapia de choque, este software tiene el fin ayudar a los psicólogos en terapias con herramientas tecnológicas. El tratamiento tradicional de la acrofobia es la exposición “in vivo”, en la que el paciente se expone a una serie de estímulos que le provocan ansiedad. Sin embargo, la terapia de exposición mediante RV proporciona una serie de ventajas respecto a la terapia tradicional. Si un entorno virtual puede provocar miedo y activar las estructuras que provocan ansiedad, la terapia de exposición mediante RV puede funcionar como un modo alternativo de inducir exposición. Diferentes casos de estudio han demostrado que la acrofobia puede ser tratada con éxito mediante terapia de exposición basada en RV.
This research is framed in the application of Virtual Reality (VR) for the development of systems that allow the treatment of psychological disorders, particularly acrophobia. Acrophobia is an intense fear of high places, which leads to the avoidance of situations related to height. In this work we will study and analyze the tools we use to achieve the construction of a virtual environment that simulates a small city with high buildings, with the objective that the patient performs a shock therapy when exposed within the virtual environment in a situation where he must cross high buildings over a glass bridge, this under the company and supervision of a psychologist who will evaluate the reaction of the patient at the time of executing the shock therapy, this software is intended to help psychologists in therapies with technological tools. The traditional treatment of acrophobia is exposure "in vivo", in which the patient is exposed to a series of stimuli that cause anxiety. However, VR exposure therapy provides a number of advantages over traditional therapy. If a virtual environment can cause fear and activate anxiety-provoking structures, VR exposure therapy can function as an alternative way to induce exposure. Different case studies have shown that acrophobia can be successfully treated by VR based exposure therapy.
