Design and Implementation of Psychotherapy System Based on Virtual Reality

Virtual reality is an advanced computer user interface, which is the product of people's constant demand for human-computer interaction. Virtual reality technology is the intersection and synthesis of computer graphics, humancomputer interface technology, sensor technology and artificial intelligence technology. The application of virtual reality can greatly reduce the burden on users and improve work efficiency. In the field of psychotherapy, VR technology combined with exposure therapy is most commonly used for the treatment of a variety of mental diseases, especially fear and anxiety disorders. This paper studies the basic technical elements and characteristics of virtual reality and summarizes the application of virtual reality technology in psychotherapy. Based on the current development of virtual reality, the demand and feasibility of applying virtual reality technology to psychotherapy are analyzed. Based on this theory, combined with real-time image processing technology, a virtual realitybased psychotherapy assistant system is designed and implemented in an MFC environment.
