مستخلص: With consumer devices becoming increasingly affordable, virtual reality (VR) bears much therapeutic promise for psychiatry and psychotherapy. Yet, there remains a research-to-practice gap as advances in VR technology outpace clinical research: VR-therapeutics practical for day-to-day clinical care remain largely unavailable, inaccessible, or unaffordable. This article returns to three foundational promises of VR: (1) enhancing treatments already feasible in the clinic, (2) making feasible treatments impractical in the clinic, and (3) making possible “impossible” treatments in the clinic. These are discussed in terms of: current state of research; whether VR-therapeutics are available, accessible, and affordable to frontline clinicians; limitations; and areas of growth via practical examples. This is followed by a discussion on clinical research approach to further bridge the research-to-practice gap: first, using in research only VR devices that are practical for frontline clinics, and second, developing VR-therapeutics with scalability and excellence in mind—through optimization and a team-science approach.
