632 meters straight down from the world’s second-tallest building. Notice if your legs tense up even though you’re completely safe.

🧠 WHY THIS MATTERS: Your amygdala (fear center) activates when peripheral vision shows height, triggering the same physiological responses as real danger – increased heart rate, muscle tension, even vertigo. This is why VR exposure therapy works for acrophobia – you get genuine fear responses in a controlled, safe environment where you can practice staying calm.
⚠️ This is NOT designed as therapeutic content. If you feel uncomfortable watching, that’s actually proof your brain responds to VR like it’s real! And you can always take off the headset if it gets too much

📱 Our aim is to make specific kinds of therapy which have been proven to work better in Virtual Reality than real life, available to all

Developed for the cheapest Virtual Reality headsets, “Google Cardboard”, you can build your own for a few £ and use with your mobile. Our aim is to make specific kinds of therapy which have been proven to work better in Virtual Reality than real life, available to all

🎯 THE MASTERCHANGE APP – COMING Autumn 2026
You’ll be able to experience high definition therapeutic VR journeys based on best practice and developed with experts.

Drinking too much? Want to quit smoking? Conquer your phobia? The MasterChange app aims to help you stop bad habits, start good ones and overcome your phobias through structured VR exposure, projection, tracking, education interwoven with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

The aim of this channel is to offer a preview of some of the films we are experimenting with (not all will make the final cut) and some explainers on why we think Virtual Reality is the optimal medium for digital therapy

We will continue to add films over the coming months. To be clear the films on this channel are not designed for therapy. That will come when MasterChange launches; they are just to give a sneak preview of what we are up to
