This scientific paper presents and focuses on analyzing a system based on virtual reality. The system can be used in multiple fields (such as medicine, art, tourism, archeology, etc.). In this article, we present, as a use case scenario, a medical implementation (with remote secure communication) designed to help and used for people who are affected by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
