In 2014, the Newcastle University team reported in PLOS ONE that 8/9 children treated in the Blue Room were able to tackle the situation they initially feared, and that some were even found to have completely overcome their phobias. The Newcastle University team work with company Third Eye Technologies in their unique immersive Blue Room to create personalised scenarios. Accompanied by a psychologist, the child is completely surrounded with video representing the 'real world' in the 360 degree seamless screened room with no point of external reference. This means they do not have to wear a headset or goggles, which children with autism can find distressing.
