Hello, Your research is very interesting in that it is taking technology that we have already and putting it into use to help out stutterers (PWS). I can see that using virtual reality with authority figures, time usage, and talking on the phone is a very great technique but virtual reality is different than pure reality. The psychological aspects of it would make it seem like a game to some. How long would it take to have an effect on a person who stutters and would the stuttering make a comeback when the PWS isn't on the virtual reality treatment? It seems like a great breakthrough though in the field of speech therapy.
