Very innovative approach - I am reminded of the holodeck in Star-Trek and even the movie Matrix where you load a "program" and start living in a fictitious yet real world. Now back to your approach of using virtual reality for stuttering therapy, I had two questions: 1. What are some of the challenges involved in making VR for stuttering therapy a commonplace tool? It seems to me that creating flexible content (rather than a few canned situations) would be very useful to a therapist so that s/he can tailor the simulation for each client, but it may also be difficult to do. 2. I am curious to know how realistic the experience feels. In this regard, do you have any sample videos or screen-shots that you can share? Thanks
