Positive Activity Jackpot, developed by the National Center for Telehealth and Technology, uses augmented reality with a smart phone's GPS to help find nearby activities and diversions for someone used to the high tempo of combat life.
The center, known as T2, used a behavioral therapy called pleasant event scheduling as the basis for design of the application.
