Acrophobia seriously affects people physical and mental functions. Research has proved that
the treatment effect of virtual reality exposure therapy on acrophobia can be comparable to that of real
exposure therapy, and people are always protected and safe in the virtual environment. Although virtual
reality exposure includes a variety of technologies and hardware forms, its intervention mechanism on
acrophobia is still based on physiological level, cognitive level and brain level. Future research should be
based on physiological and brain mechanisms, further explore new forms of evaluation and treatment
of acrophobia, and reduce the negative impact of virtual reality exposure therapy based on cognitive
perspective and new technology.
