PsychLabVR
PsychLabVR offers a virtual research environment accessible for free on Steam. The initial alpha release features simulated social interactions designed to gauge social anxiety levels. Collected information aims to establish a scientific basis for developing a no-cost, automated treatment for social anxiety disorder.

About This Game
Developed by a group spearheaded by Noah Robinson, a clinical psychology doctoral candidate at Vanderbilt University, PsychLabVR functions as a virtual research hub. This software is available at no cost via the Steam VR marketplace. With appropriate IRB approval, we gather behavioral metrics and survey responses within an online, immersive virtual setting. The premiere alpha experiment utilizes simulated social scenarios to assess social anxiety, with the goal of using this information to build a scientifically-backed, automated, and free therapy for the disorder. Additionally, we intend to grant access to the platform for other researchers to gather data using Unity-based environments within PsychLabVR. For further inquiries, feel free to reach out to Noah Robinson.
Future updates will introduce new experiments and complimentary treatments.
Please note that transitions between scenes can take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes, during which the application might seem unresponsive. While we work to resolve this issue, please be patient, as the next section of the experiment will eventually load.
