Virtual reality (VR) is a type of technology that shows you a computer-made world. You can see and hear things like you are really there. Scientists think that VR can help people who have anxiety. Anxiety is when you feel very nervous or afraid. With VR, people can learn how to relax, face their fears, and feel calm in a safe place. For example, someone who is afraid to talk in front of people can practice in a VR room with a fake audience. This helps them feel better and more confident.
Examples:
VR helps people feel calm.
I use VR to practice speaking in public.
She feels less nervous after using VR.
