Virtual reality (VR) offers new possibilities in the treatment of addiction, especially for people with a Mild to Borderline Intellectual Disability (MBID). Simon Langener researches how VR technology can meet the needs of this target group. He recently obtained his PhD at the University of Twente.
Since 2019, Langener has been doing PhD research at UT, focusing specifically on the technological side of VR in addiction care. His dissertation revolves around developing virtual environments that support therapy in addiction treatment. Within addiction care, Tactus, where Langener works, has intensive experimentation with VR in the treatment room.
