Simulated Schizophrenia

http://www.zeppotron.com/unnovations/schizo-hat.html

While this is a joke, what is interesting to me is that I've actually thought of this before. What I thought is that such a virtual (un)reality experience would be (1) good for therapists and caregivers of schizophrenics to increase their empathy and (2) good for schizophrenics as a desensitization method to reduce their anxiety. However, for (2), I'm not sure the VR could be personalized enough to make such VR experiences like their own. Also, I wonder if such VR would trigger episodes...  (Sorry about the site, be warned it can be rather crude...)
