The use of virtual reality (VR) to simulate confrontational human behaviour has signifcant potential for use in training, where the recreation of uncomfortable feelings may help users to prepare for challenging real-life situations.

Participants reported a higher elevation in anxiety in VR, which correlated positively with a perceived sense of physical space. Character believability was infuenced negatively by visual elements of the simulation, and positively by behavioural
