VR-Project Delta (Δ meaning "change") is being developed by Dr. Patrick Bordnick, dean and professor at the Tulane School of Social Work. VR-Δ will put patients into realistic virtual worlds using smartphone-based VR, recreating situations that identify and trigger cravings akin to drug and alcohol addiction. This tool allows for individualized patient diagnostics and aids in treatment by teaching coping mechanisms to avoid relapse. Dr. Bordnick is also repurposing and transforming the technology of VR- Δ to create environments that help children and adults with autism develop interpersonal skills.
