What is 360° Video?

360° Video is a VR application within Psylaris Care that allows you to let clients practise in lifelike, filmed situations that trigger tension, fear or another emotion.

The client wears a VR headset and experiences the situation as if it is really happening, for example a blood test, a social interaction or a busy public space.

As a therapist you simply select the desired scenario via the Psylaris dashboard and watch live what the client is experiencing so you can discuss it with your client.
 discuss it with your client.

Realistic exposure in a safe environment

With 360° Video you bring real situations safely into the treatment room. Clients practise in lifelike, filmed environments, from medical procedures to social situations, without leaving the treatment room or home environment. As an ideal step between imaginary and in vivo exposure, it is realistic enough to trigger emotions, yet controlled enough to offer safety.

Library with more than 1,000 videos

With more than 1,000 realistic videos, 360° Video offers a suitable scenario for almost every treatment context. The library is divided into categories with multiple variations, allowing you as the therapist to easily choose what fits the situation and the client’s level of tension. This ensures you always use a video that aligns with the treatment goal and the client’s experience.

Active guidance during the session

While watching a 360° video, the therapist can follow along live via the Psylaris dashboard. This allows you to directly observe how the client responds to tension and guide them step by step in learning to cope with stressful situations. You can pause the session, discuss what is happening and apply new coping strategies together.

Broadly applicable across different treatment approaches

360° Video supports a wide range of methods within mental healthcare. The realistic videos can be used for psychoeducation, exposure therapy, addiction-related issues and relaxation, making the application highly versatile. Whether the goal is to increase insight, reduce tension, manage craving or promote relaxation, 360° Video offers a suitable, evidence-based experience for every situation.

“The exposure exercises are easier to bring into the treatment room. It also makes it more realistic to apply exposure than having to walk up to a block of flats in real life.”

Watch the experience of Birgit

“We saw quick results in a short time.”

Birgit treated a 16-year-old unaccompanied refugee. He didn’t speak the language and was severely traumatised. Without an interpreter, Birgit used the VR headset. She quickly noticed that he relaxed physically and felt comfortable during the exercise. It was the first time she used the headset in this way, with surprisingly fast results.

“We didn’t need a long treatment at all.”

Emmy treated a client with EMDR for PTSD after childhood sexual abuse. With the VR headset and the working-memory load, the trajectory progressed quickly; the emotional charge decreased much faster than expected. They are now working on other themes, such as fear in traffic. For this she used the headset again, this time with the flashforward technique, and after just one session the tension had almost completely disappeared.

Read the experience of Florentine

“In just two sessions, even with a severe trauma, we worked through it.”

Florentine treated a girl who was very tense about starting EMDR and avoided many things. Nothing seemed to help until she introduced the VR headset. The girl became curious about the moving dot and the maths tasks, and could choose things herself: which colours, whether the dot should bounce. She felt in control, making it easier and safer to start.
