The worldwide prevalence of mental health diseases is alarming. 792 million individuals have a mental disorder such as anxiety or depression. Treatment varies among the types of illness. They can be expensive and, in order to be effective, must address a combination of psychotherapy and medications. The drugs used for treating symptoms present a risk of negative side effects. Studies have shown the benefits of other co-therapies such as physical exercise. In this case, the ability to simulate reality can strongly increase the introduction of other psychological therapies and treatment results can be improved through new immersive experiences. virtual reality Exposure Therapy has demonstrated its effectiveness by allowing patients to gradually face fearful stimuli or stressful situations. Recent studies showed that the use of virtual reality is effective and safe for mental health. Particularly, in the scenario of how virtual reality simulation could increase empathy and behaviour change. This article presents a preliminary study of the REVIDA project: It aims to investigate through Benchmarking and SWOT Analysis the possible integration of virtual reality in mental illness monitoring in Portugal. Results show that there exist several new opportunities for using virtual reality technology in mental health and wellbeing.

At San Francisco State University, a primarily undergraduate institution and Hispanic serving institute, efforts are underway to explore the efficacy of teaching human-technology interactions through a real application of virtual reality. virtual reality is an emerging technology in the education field with immense capabilities to transcend beyond time and space boundaries. The virtual reality Engineering program at SFSU brings together structural engineering and computer science colleagues to develop a virtual reality platform for engineering professionals and students related to post-hazard structural evaluation training. Supported through a grant by Structural Engineer's Association of Northern California, SFSU is progressively developing an immersive experience for trainees to explore a structure damaged from an earthquake event. Trainees will need to navigate around the structure and control their point-of-view to examine the evidence of damage. Ultimately, the trainees must classify the structure based on acceptable level of occupancy access (i.e. red card - no access, yellow card - limited access, green card - ok for occupancy). This environment is being developed progressively with the first stage of work focusing on a desktop version of this training. Through this project, three computer science graduate research assistants are partaking in all portions of the work which includes the integration of the structural system from Revit to the Unity platform into a 3D model;definition of materials, textures, and light sources;and development of the user navigation system. Student assessment is conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the project approach to see how they were able to successfully apply the concepts of human technology interaction in the engineering application of virtual reality technology. Based on this assessment, future work will endeavor to: 1) perform user studies with civil engineering professionals and students to evaluate the usability of the
