What it is

A calm, clinical exposure platform — built for the therapy room

CalmPath VR is designed as a clinical tool, not a flashy game. Everything is built around three priorities: clarity for you, safety and agency for the patient, and privacy by design.

You drive from the dashboard

A browser dashboard on your PC or tablet controls the whole session. Pick content, adjust intensity, send calming messages, and stop instantly — the patient never has to touch a menu.

Graduated, repeatable exposure

Content is organized in graded intensity levels so you can move a patient up or down the ladder at their pace, and return to the exact same scenario next session.

Privacy by design

No patient identity or personal health information is stored. Sensor logs are timestamped values only — no names attached. Built with HIPAA-consciousness from the ground up.

How it works

Two halves, one calm session

The therapist's dashboard and the patient's headset talk to each other over your local Wi‑Fi. You see the controls; the patient sees only the experience.

On your computer

Therapist Dashboard

  • Begin, pause, and stop the session
  • Choose the video, tour, or AI scene
  • Send reassuring on-screen messages
  • Watch live heart rate & stress (optional)
  • Emergency Stop always one click away
On the patient

Meta Quest 3S Headset

  • Immersive 360° / 180° environments
  • Branching photo & video "tours"
  • Guided breathing & bilateral stimulation
  • Calming relaxation center between exposures
  • No menus to navigate — you guide it all
The therapist's toolkit

Everything you need in one calm control panel

Each of these is built and working in the current dashboard.

Session control

Begin, pause, resume, and stop. Controls stay locked until you press Begin Session, so nothing fires by accident. A session timer runs throughout.

360° content library

A four-level menu — Condition ▸ Category ▸ Scenario ▸ Intensity — lets you find and play the exact graded scenario you want in seconds.

Live biofeedback

With an optional sensor, watch live heart rate and skin conductance, set a per-patient calm baseline, and see a green / yellow / red anxiety indicator.

Messages to the patient

Type a note or tap a quick phrase ("You are safe. This feeling will pass.") and it appears gently in the patient's view — no need to raise your voice across the room.

Bilateral stimulation

A moving target for EMDR-style bilateral stimulation, with adjustable speed, range, and direction — horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.

Guided breathing

Box breathing, 4-7-8, resonance, extended-exhale and more — a visual breathing guide the patient follows in the headset to settle between exposures.

AI scene generator

Describe a calming place ("quiet beach with gentle waves") and generate a custom 180° scene on the spot. Save favorites to a per-condition library.

Relaxation center

A dedicated calm space with calming videos, ambient soundscapes, breathing, and guided progressive muscle relaxation, hypnotherapy, and imagery sessions.

Emergency Stop

A large, always-active button returns the patient to a neutral waiting screen instantly — available even before a session begins.

Inside the dashboard

One always-on control bar, three focused workspaces

The left sidebar is always available — no matter what you're doing, your safety controls, biofeedback, messaging, and calming tools are one click away. The main area then switches between three tabs depending on where you are in the session.

Therapy Session Relaxation Center Education

Therapy Session

The exposure workspace: the graded video library, the live session timeline, and the branching tour map. Where the clinical work happens.

Relaxation Center

A calm space for before, between, and after exposures — calming videos, ambient soundscapes, breathing, and guided PMR, hypnotherapy, and imagery sessions.

Education

Short psychoeducation videos you can play in the headset to teach the patient what's happening in their body — anxiety, the fight-or-flight response, how exposure works, and grounding skills. The list loads automatically from the headset.

See it live · Session timeline

Know what's coming — before your patient feels it

Each exposure video is marked with its emotional "beats." The timeline shows every upcoming stressor and its intensity, with a playhead that moves as the video plays — so you're never caught off guard, and you can prepare the patient a moment before a peak.

Video Timeline
This is a real example using the beat data from a filmed scenario.
Live demo · plays automatically
PTSD · Sexual Violence · Woman In Stairwell — Level One 0:00 / 1:43
UPCOMING STRESSORS INTENSITY 1–5

NEXTEnters stairwell / man present
CURRENT INTENSITYLevel 1

Beats are authored per video in a simple editor — a time, a label, and an intensity from 1 to 5 — then drawn automatically here.

See it live · Guided tour map

Branching "tours" that let the patient choose how far to go

Some exposures aren't a single video — they're a walkable environment made of connected 360° photos and videos. The patient moves by looking at a point and selecting it. This map shows the therapist exactly where they are and what choices lie ahead. Below is the built-and-working Suspension Bridge tour.

Tour Map — Suspension Bridge
Phobia · Heights · Suspension Bridge — 9 nodes, branching at the midpoint.
Live demo · click a node or advance
Photo node Video node Patient is here L1–L5 = exposure intensity
Now at: Bridge Start · Level 1

Overlook branches climb to the highest intensity (Level 4) and are deliberate dead-ends — the only way back is a gentle step down (video ▸ photo ▸ bridge), mirroring good exposure practice of easing off a peak.

The content library

A growing library across eight condition areas

Content is organized so you always know where to find the right scenario. New scenarios, tours, and calming environments are added continuously, and videos can be downloaded to the headset on demand.

Every scenario lives at a clear, repeatable address

ConditionPhobia · Anxiety · PTSD · OCD · Addiction · +more
Categorye.g. PTSD → Family Violence, Sexual Violence, Car Accident
Scenarioe.g. "Father Comes Home Upset"
IntensityGraduated levels within each scenario
Example path: PTSD › Family Violence › "Father Comes Home Upset" › Mild Tension → Verbal Argument → Escalating Conflict → Threatening Behavior → Physical Altercation

180° & 360° video

Each scenario is delivered as flat 180° or fully immersive 360° video, played under full therapist control. Large videos stream from the headset's own storage.

Walkable 360° tours

The patient moves node to node — choosing which way to go through an environment. Each node carries its own intensity, and some open into video moments (as in the bridge tour above).

Safety & the patient's agency

The patient is never on their own in there

Exposure only works when the patient feels safe enough to stay with the discomfort. Every design choice protects that.

Instant Emergency Stop — from either side

One press returns the patient to a calm neutral screen at any moment — from your dashboard or from the patient's own controller. No digging through menus.

Calming tools between exposures

Breathing guides, bilateral stimulation, and a full relaxation center let you down-regulate the patient without ending the session.

Watch the body, not just the face

Optional biofeedback shows when a patient is elevated even if they aren't saying so — with a clear "consider pausing" prompt.

No personal health information stored

Sensor readings are anonymous, timestamped values. No names, no identities, no session recordings of the patient.

After the session

Documentation that points to the moments that mattered

Your clinical notes stay yours — CalmPath VR never stores patient records. These features help you write them faster.

Session control & active timer Working

Begin, pause, resume, and stop, with an active-time timer, a one-tap calm waiting screen, and live connection status throughout the session.

AI note summary Planned

An auto-generated summary that highlights the segments of the exposure that produced the most significant physiological response — so your notes point straight to the moments that mattered. You copy it into your own records; no PHI is stored.

For licensed mental health clinicians
Preview build — July 2026

CalmPath VR is a clinical tool intended for use by licensed mental health professionals as an adjunct to therapy, not a replacement for clinical judgment. The anxiety indicator and biofeedback thresholds are a transparent guide to help interpret physiological trends — they are not a validated diagnostic algorithm. Hardware specifications, compliance review, and pricing will be finalized before general release. This page is a non-public sample and describes a build in active development; features marked "in progress" or "planned" are not yet complete.
