"The Virtual Reality (VR) Assessment and Treatment of Combat-Related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) project develops immersive virtual environment applications for the treatment of Iraq War veterans diagnosed with PTSD. This project is funded as part of a larger multi-year effort by the US Office of Naval Research (ONR). The project uses a VR environment as the basis of treatment, whereby a veteran with PTSD can experience a combat-relevant scenario in a low-threat context to therapeutically process emotions and decondition the effects of the disorder."
