RE: Using Virtual Reality for a painful goodbye

in Project HOPE6 years ago

Wow @pedrobrito2004, I hadn't imagined this... it's impressive this use.

I don't know, this could really be therapeutic for some people, who have gone through a psychological preparation to make them understand that it is a farewell.

But I also see that it could bring other problems, people with the recurrent need to want to live that moment again, at least to be in contact with that someone who is no longer there.

I think it could even be a double-edged sword for some cases, for this mom it probably worked, but as in everything related to the human mind, it is subject to drastic variations from one human being to another.

Very interesting topic professor, very good. It got me thinking.

Thanks for the comment, I had not thought about the possibility of generating some kind of dependence on this technology, it would be like the case of a medical treatment or psychological therapy that instead of being used for treatment and improvement of health will end up damaging the health or creating a new type of "Junkie"

Exactly.
Not to be negative, but we must try to see all the possibilities, to avoid the less beneficial ones.
But as a tool, it's great, just great.
I have no doubt it could be put to good use. As you've already demonstrated with the experiment.
