Our presentation will address the question of the potentialities of virtual reality and video-oculography (eye movement recording) in forensic assessment and treatment of sex offenders (see figure 1). We will focus specifically on using synthetic 3D virtual environments to elicit subjective, behavioral and physiological responses as diagnostic indices. We will demonstrate how video-oculography combined with virtual reality can help to overcome major limitations affecting standard procedures such as penile plethysmography and polygraphy. We will illustrate our methodological concepts with data and video documents coming from assessment sessions of sex offenders' sexual preferences. Finally, we will demonstrate the prototype of an interactive device allowing clinicians to embody virtual characters depicting features of victims in order to interact in virtual immersion with pedophiles.
