"Pre-therapeutic Validation of the Virtual Reality-based Exposure Scenario for CBT ReVBED for the Induction of Food Craving in Patients With Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder (BED)"

"ReVBED is a VR-based exposure scenario for CBT for the induction of food craving in patients with bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.~The use of ReVBED requires no VR experience and only generic and commonly used virtual reality tools (a computer with VR software, a wireless virtual reality headset, two controllers and headphones), all with a CE mark, allowing its users to move in and interact with a specially designed virtual environment.~This exhibit scenario takes place in a VR environment built to represent a standard apartment consisting of four exhibit rooms (a bedroom, a teenager's bedroom, a living room and a kitchen) in which the ReVBED user moves sequentially through the scenario. In each room, specific cues of craving are displayed. These cues are not only visual, but also audio, emotional and socio-environmental. A central hall connects the other rooms and serves as a safe place for debriefing, where measures such as craving are assessed."
