New Paper in JMIR XR and Spatial Computing

Congratulations to Michael who has had a paper accepted at JMIR XR and Spatial Computing! Well done Michael.

Here’s the abstract:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental health disorder that can cause significant impairment to occupational and social functioning. While effective treatments exist, outcomes are often hampered by issues outside of the treatment protocol. Virtual reality (VR) presents a potential solution to help support the effective administration of treatment, but its application in the field of OCD has thus far been limited to replicating real-world environments used in exposure exercises, despite the potential to generate environments and stimuli beyond what is possible in reality. Participatory design methods are an effective way to ensure the development of novel interventions are relevant to the intended end users and are grounded in their expertise and experiences.
