Abstract:
Virtual reality technology (VR), as an emerging technology, has been widely of interest in the field of psychology since its inception. By reviewing the development process of virtual reality technology and identifying key events and directions in each period, the development of virtual reality can be divided into six stages: conceptual precursors, concept formation, research applications, early commercialization, industry resurgence, and the virtual year. Furthermore, by exploring the appli-cation of virtual reality technology in the field of psychological therapy, we can summarize the sig-nificant potential and advantages that this technology possesses in the realm of psychology. These advantages encompass the therapeutic environment, treatment timelines, and treatment progress. However, it is important to note that virtual reality therapy also faces a series of challenges in prac-tical applications, such as high treatment costs, ethical and privacy concerns, a lack of specialized personnel, long-term effectiveness, and maintenance issues.
