1:04
Lesson summary
A common block is the belief that VR won't work because it doesn't look realistic enough — but detail doesn't matter for desensitisation, thanks to how the brain responds to symbolic cues and the uncanny valley. Understanding this, alongside cost and training concerns, helps clinicians move past the main obstacles to adoption.
Key learning points
- Cost, time and training barriers
- The realism misconception
- Practical paths to adoption
