Recently, attention is being brought to exposure treatment methods using Virtual Reality for those suffering from panic disorder accompanied by agoraphobia. Overseas, contents for exposure treatment introducing Virtual Reality began development in the 1990s and positive evaluations are being made regarding its treatment methods and treatment effects. On one hand, there are still no cases developed professionally in Korea and even evaluations cases introduced into treatment are being made using contents developed overseas. For such reasons, this study has attempted to develop Virtual Reality Exposure contents which fully reflect Japan's culture and environment. Developed contents were focused on subway environments where avoidance was shown the most among patients receiving treatment in community hospitals. Contents were produced through Virtual Reality by modeling existing places and objects in their actual size to express a high sense of reality. Also, mutual interaction functions were strengthened to allow exposure suitable to the diverse symptoms of each patient. Although evaluations through this study are still in progress, changes in avoidance behavior regarding anxiety and fear are being confirmed and treatment effects are being verified through additional experiments.
