Physiological and Subjective Measures of Anxiety with Repeated Exposure to Virtual Construction Sites at Different Heights
Background: Occupational workers at altitudes are more prone to falls, leading to catastrophic outcomes. Acrophobia, height-related anxiety, and affected executive functions lead to postural instabilities, causing falls. This study investigated the effects of repeated virtual height exposure and tra...
