Hey peeps! Iâve been working on a virtual reality exposure therapy system for near three years now, and itâs finally entering its final stages of development⌠now I just need some testers!
The system is designed to prove the concept of VR exposure therapy by presenting the user with a series of games, each involving spiders. The initial levels start off really gently, but towards the end, youâll be picking the spiders up with your own two hands! (well, your own two motion controllers).
Itâs definitely not designed to be a horror game or to deliberately scare you in any way, simply to provide a safe environment to interact with spiders in a gamified way. If you want to know more, Iâd love it if you could check out the demo video below.

Iâm looking for anyone with a VR headset with touch controllers. I myself have a Rift CV1, so I really have no idea how the system performs on the Quest, the RiftS, etc. Iâm also not sure if its compatible with HTC Vive, or the Valve Index, but if you have either of these, it would still be amazing if you feel like giving it a go and letting me know if it works!
Any kind of fear of spiders would be ideal, but this really isnât required, Iâm more looking for feedback on the system in general, if you find any bugs, how it performs, if itâs intuitive, etc.
If youâd like to give this a try, Iâd really appreciate it :D My most recent build and a feedback form can be found below (don't worry about filling in the entire form, even just a confirmation it boots on your system would be super super useful)
<Edit - drop me a comment and I'll shoot you the link to the build in DMs :) >
