About the Work

‘Fear of heights affects 1 in 4 people’ (Brandt & Huppert, 2014) Being afraid of heights limits many aspects of people’s lives. But only few are willing to talk about it. #BeFearless is the first virtual reality platform to overcome fears. We collaborated with VR developers and psychologists to create a unique VR program that offers users the chance to experience situations of high altitude. Users are confronted with their fears in increasing levels and for the first time the app analyzes heart rate and eye movement to give instant personalized feedback. Best of all, users can train in the comfort of their homes and at their own pace. We followed the lives of 18 millennials in Europe and Asia whose lives have changed after participating in our 4 weeks of training. Eventually #BeFearless campaign convinced press and experts worldwide that VR can be much more than entertainment.
