8. CrossReality - Interreality
Interreality in Practice: Bridging Virtual and Real
Worlds in the Treatment of PTSD
The main feature of Interreality is a twofold link
between the virtual and real worlds:
(a) behavior in the physical world influences the
experience in the virtual one;
(b) behavior in the virtual world influences the
experience in the real one. This is achieved through
3D shared virtual worlds; biosensors and activity
sensors and personal digital assistants and/or mobile
phones

11. Cross Reality - Smart Condo
A sensor network records a variety
of events and environmental
parameters and feeds the related
data into our Web-based system.
This system is responsible for
inferring higher-order information
about the activities of the condo's
occupant and supporting the
visualization of the collected
information in a 2D Geographic
Information System (GIS) and a 3D
virtual world, namely Second Life
(SL).

12. Consideraçôes
Professional associations have created codes
of ethics and organizations who use or release
records to organizations who utilize insurance
reimbursement must comply with the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA). These ethics, regulations and
standards naturally extend to treatment
conducted in a virtual world setting. The Center
for BrainHealth is taking steps to ensure best
practice is followed, helping to create a
standard of care in the industry.
