In order to lend an assistance to alleviate these hindering symptoms, the current study developed a Virtual Reality for Achluophobia Therapy. The program was developed by using three-dimensional (3D) and game-engine software. The developed system was operated on a high-performance personal computer and presented to users through fully immersive VR gears: head-mounted display and sensory handheld remote controls. The effectiveness of the program system and usage satisfaction were examined by medical and VR experts, and twenty diagnosed individuals with a Achluophobia. The system program was assessed to be at a highest level (x̅= 4.56). The operating system and satisfaction were highly rated (x̅= 4.60). The results indicated that the program development in the study is practical for treating achluophobia and can be applicable to future research. training and future research.
