The present paper explores the benefits and the capabilities of various emerging state-of-the-art interactive 3D and Internet of Things technologies and investigates how these technologies can be exploited to develop a more effective technology supported exposure therapy solution for social anxiety disorder. "DJINNI" is a conceptual design of an augmented reality (AR) exposure therapy mobile support system that exploits several capturing technologies and integrates the patient's state and situation by vision-based, audio-based, and physiology-based analysis as well as by indoor/outdoor localization techniques. DJINNI also comprises an innovative virtual reality exposure therapy system that is adaptive and customizable to the demands of the experience and therapeutic progress. DJINNI follows a gamification approach where rewards and achievements are utilized to motivate the patient to progress in her/his treatment. The current paper reviews the state of the art of technologies needed for such a solution and recommends how these technologies could be integrated in the development of an individually tailored and yet feasible and effective AR/virtual reality-based exposure therapy. Finally, the paper outlines how DJINNI could be part of classical cognitive behavioral treatment and how to validate such a setup.
本文探讨了各种新兴的先进交互式3D和物联网技术的优势与能力，并研究了如何利用这些技术开发一种更有效的、技术支持的社交焦虑症暴露疗法解决方案。“DJINNI”是一种增强现实（AR）暴露疗法移动支持系统的概念设计，它利用多种捕捉技术，并通过基于视觉、基于音频和基于生理的分析以及室内/室外定位技术来整合患者的状态和情境。DJINNI还包括一个创新的虚拟现实暴露疗法系统，该系统可根据体验和治疗进展的需求进行自适应和定制。DJINNI采用了游戏化方法，利用奖励和成就激励患者在治疗中取得进展。本文回顾了此类解决方案所需技术的现状，并建议如何将这些技术集成到个性化定制且可行有效的基于AR/虚拟现实的暴露疗法的开发中。最后，本文概述了DJINNI如何成为经典认知行为治疗的一部分以及如何验证这样一种设置。
