Addiction is common and may be potentially responsive to a motion control game designed to enhance self-control over substance use. We are developing and evaluating a motion-controlled virtual reality (VR) game based on Kinect for Windows v2 for patients to develop power over substance-related cues. Cue-exposure therapy and extinguishing behaviors in a virtual environment has the potential to improve substance abuse treatment outcomes.
