Hi Mark: I like the way you are thinking about this, and yes, there are ways to give feedback on VR. THe nice thing about VR is that you really don't have to be "bounded by reality", that is, you can insert tasks, or feedback, pretty much whenever you want it. So for example, in Dr Patrick Bordnick's addiction research in VR, he asks subjects to rate their level of cigarette craving at different points during a virtual party. We could do something analagous to this with PWS-asking them to rate the amount of avoidance for instance before, during and after a speech to a virtual audience. Also, you could hook up a respitrace or other such instrument and provide that feedback within the virtual environment. This is actually something that we've thought about incorporating in the next round of grants that we are writing. Shelley
