Evaluation of the effectiveness of a projection-based augmented reality exposure treatment system and study of attentional biases in cockroach phobia using eye tracking.

Key Points

• The evaluation shows significant effectiveness of the augmented reality exposure treatment system on reducing phobia symptoms.
• Eye tracking metrics indicated notable attentional biases toward cockroach-related stimuli among participants.
• Analysis of user interactions with augmented reality revealed trends in engagement and therapeutic outcomes.
• Findings imply that augmented reality methods may enhance traditional exposure therapy for phobia treatment.
