Can virtual environments help elicit fearful feelings so they can be treated? This article shows how therapists and computer experts used them to do just that. We describe a pilot study that used virtual reality graded exposure techniques to treat acrophobia-the fear of heights. We specifically address two issues: the extent to which we were able to make subjects feel that they were actually present in height situations, and the efficacy of the treatment conducted using virtual height situations.>
