Fear of Spiders is the newest edition of ZeroPhobia. For the therapy flow it follows a similar blueprint as the first two editions.
The exposure therapy will be using mobile AR and gamification.
This edition is partly funded by The Province of North Holland.
The focus of ZeroPhobia is not only on the application itself. Rather it is on the effectiveness of the therapy.
Therefore each edition of ZeroPhobia goes through clinical research before it is made public to the end users.
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University of Twente, carry on these researches.
