Virtual Reality involves the use of computer hardware and software to create a simulated environment that places the user inside a virtual experience. Virtual reality has potential to be used in a range of clinical areas, offering new opportunities to support and/or enhance current assessment and intervention methods. A brief overview of a range of clinical virtual reality applications will be presented and discussed. These examples will demonstrate different ways in which virtual reality technology can be used and encourage clinicians to think about how technology may be explored in other settings.
