Abstract
Individuals experiencing a fear of heights may suffer sudden panic attacks in elevated real-world environments, and traditional coping methods typically lack immediate visual interventions. A disclosed system may provide real-time assistance by utilizing a wearable device to monitor physiological stress indicators, such as heart rate variability and electrodermal activity. A processing device may evaluate these physiological parameters alongside environmental altitude data to calculate a personalized stress score. If a calculated score exceeds an established threshold, a display device, such as augmented reality glasses, may render virtual safety elements within a visual field of a user. These visual interventions, which may include simulated railings or depth-obscuring ground fog, are configured to stabilize depth perception and provide visual anchors, helping to reduce physiological stress responses in high-altitude scenarios.
