This VR app is designed by Samsung to help you overcome your fear of heights. In this version, you’ll be exposed to three outdoor settings -- cliff driving, heli-skiing, and crossing a suspension bridge -- with rich 360° visuals. Each environment has multiple difficultly levels to ease you into each scenario. When paired with the Gear S2, your heart rate can also be measured, providing even more information to gauge your progress. Visit the #BeFearless website at www.samsung.com/launchingpeople and look for our tutorial videos for detailed information on how to get started.

Says what it does

Makes you take your fear of heights to new limits. They should make more games that make you overcome other phobias. Maybe arachnophobia or claustrophobia lol

Interesting take on exposure therapy

I realize this is almost 4 years old at this point, so I'm not knocking it, but it's definitely worth pointing out that the video is extremely poor quality - very fuzzy, lots of warping as you move, a bit of motion sickness. If they could upgrade this with better quality 3D video it would be outstanding. I realize I'm not the target audience here because I don't have a fear of heights at all (I actually like heights) but I'm curious about use cases like this so I gave it a shot. I particularly liked the heliski one. I didn't really feel like the levels in general got significantly scarier as you progress, and they are all VERY brief. So yeah I feel like something like Richie's Plank Experience might be a more modern offering for exposure therapy for heights, but this is potentially a lot more valuable, because of the level concept and the different environments. They just need to update the video. For people complaining about how you can't get the controller to work - you have to go into the settings and shut off the Gear VR thing.
