Abstract

Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) and Augmented Reality Exposure Therapy (ARET) techniques have been gaining considerable attention in recent years. Although extensive research has been done in these fields there has been very little research into User Interface (UI) design specifically for these types of applications. This paper follows the design process of developing an ARET UI for therapists, focusing on arachnophobia treatment. Furthermore, this paper highlights the importance of low-fidelity feedback prototypes to assist with evaluation.
