Does anybody know about any Oculus Rift software what I could use in treatment of Anorexia Nervosa or Obesity? I am a clinical psychologist and I could find several scientific articles on this subject but none of them mention the name of the software they used.
You may want to have a look at C2Care's website, they seem to offer VR products for various phobias, addictions and also eating disorders. From the youtube vid they appear to be a mixture of 3D environments and 360 videos. They may also include interactive content but I I'm just guessing. Anyway, may be worth a look.

I think, amongst other things, it involves presenting the headset wearer with a VR mirror and virtual reflections of themselves based on perceived and actual weight.
I don't know about C2Care but apparently various VR studies have been done that include... 'audio stimuli in combination with visual kinematics to allow user–virtual world interaction and gradual exposure to high-calorie food stimuli associated with chewing sounds or comments on ingested foods. Also, only 1 study used visual-tactile stimulation complemented with immersive material, which included an obese patient to test the effect on her assessment of her body measurements' (from one study done on the subject).
I'd be curious as to how well this works, particularly with phobias. I imagine it could be pretty powerful therapy if done right.

speaking as an arachnophobe, being subjected to giant jumping frost spiders and mechanical ones at your face doesn't make the phobia go away..
on a related note, Skyrim has spiders in it.
lol, yeah, that wouldn't help much!
Relaxing music and tiny little spiders... slowly building up to bird-eating hairy bastards might work (& I don't mean Alice Cooper).
