Abstract:
Computer, tablet and smartphone are tools that
increasingly accompany us during everyday activities.
Given the booming use of the virtual reality and the
wide range of people who have access to it, people are
increasingly presented with an online alternative to the
support of professionals, therapeutic groups organized
by healthcare institutions, or significant others (such as
family, friends and colleagues). This can be used as a
tool for personal development and to cope with stress.
Our research program includes creating a virtual reality
application to sustain well-being and improve quality of
life. It assumes that avatars, representations of a
person in the cyberspace, will provide support in the
form of a virtual conversation. Dialogue with an
imaginary person is as a supportive technique in a
stressful situation as creating the list of solutions and
on a long term period it can create a specific way to
reach the desired change.
