The subject of VR Therapy has pressed heavily on our thoughts lately, so we’re thrilled that Arno Hartholt, Computer Scientist & Project Director at the University of Southern California, could join us for episode 7. Joseph and Arno discuss virtual humans, how VR applications like Project Bravemind are helping Army soldiers with PTSD, a partnership with AMD to deploy VR therapy systems to VA centers, and much, much more.
