| | The Psychology of Fear: Virtual Reality vs. Fear-Based Pathology
Skip Rizzo / Associate Director for Medical Virtual , Reality, USC ICT War is perhaps one of the most challenging situations that a human being can experience. The incidence of the fear-based pathology, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in returning "Operation Enduring Freedom" and "Operation Iraqi Freedom” (OIF/OEF) military personnel has created a significant behavioral healthcare challenge. One emerging form of treatment for combat-related PTSD that has shown promise involves using immersive Virtual Reality for the delivery of exposure therapy (VRET). Skip will detail how virtual reality applications are being designed and implemented to prevent, identify and treat combat-related PTSD in OIF/OEF service members and veterans.
Albert “Skip” Rizzo is a clinical psychologist and Associate Director at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies. He is also a research professor with the USC Dept. of Psychiatry and at the USC Davis School of Gerontology. Skip conducts research on the design, development and evaluation of Virtual Reality systems targeting the areas of clinical assessment, treatment and rehabilitation across the domains of psychological, cognitive and motor functioning and treating PTSD, TBI, Autism, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and other clinical conditions. In his spare time, he plays rugby, listens to music, rides his motorcycle.

Bryan Roe / Founde & President SensoryCo SensoryCo is a leader in atmospheric special effects for simulation and training environments including smells, smoke effects, weather effects such as mist, rain, haze, heat, and wind as well as our patent-pending spraymotion water spritzers. Their ultra-realistic aromas include a library of odors and malodors related to medical and battlefield training, hazardous chemicals, gases and choking agents, natural environmental smells, and man-made smells.
Bryan Roe has lived many lives. After considering a major in music, he took a more conservative route and pursued degrees in communications and sociology from the University of California, Davis. After graduating, he rapidly evolved into a serial entrepreneur where he participated in and founded several start-ups ranging from process manufacturing to voice technologies to interactive marketing to fog systems to SensoryCo's special FX. When he is not dreaming up the next Big Idea, he is spending time with his two daughters, his wife, Bella the pug, Lily the bunny and a variety of other pets. Needless to say Bryan likes his "cave time" where he is free to concoct more crazy ideas.

| | The Allure of Fearful Situations: Haunted Houses and Horror
Josh Randall / Co-creator & Founder of Blackout:Elements Haunted House Since 2009, BLACKOUT has produced 12 different shows and currently has productions running in NYC, LA, and Chicago. Previous positions in NYC include the head of Stage Management and Programming for the New York Times Travel Show at the Jacob Javits Center; Director of Programming for the Creative Alliance Group; and Producing Artistic Director for the Drama Desk nominated Vortex Theater Company. Producing highlights: AGAMEMNON (Drama Desk nomination), The Story of the HMS Pinafore (Drama Desk nomination), the first NY revival of Kander and Ebb’s Kiss of the Spider Woman The Musical, Maurice Maeterlink’s The Blind (directed by Blackout partner, Kris Thor), and IN DELIRIUM (NY Innovative Theater Award nomination). Having produced more than 30 shows in New York, Josh has also worked in the administrative offices of the Summer Play Festival at the Public Theater, Second Stage Theater, Manhattan Theater Club, and New York City Opera.
The Blackout Haunted House has been described described as a cross between "Fear Factor" and "The Saw." It's a live, interactive theater experience so extreme one must not only be over 18 years of age but also sign a waiver and be granted a "safe word" in order to participate. Visitors describe the experience as like no other haunted experience. Sounds pretty scary, right? Yet the show has consistently drawn an audience year after year since 2009. Josh will explore the human curiosity and allure to put oneself in these scary situations, and discuss the elements that have made this experience so different and terrifying in comparison to other haunted houses.
