Abstract

The application of the emerging media, virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality(AR), to the field of health psychology requires multidisciplinary work. This paper intends to promote such capacity of communication and collaboration with other experts in health psychologists and to help brainstorm ideas to utilize the technology. First, this paper defined the nature of VR and AR and it presented an overview, designed for the health psychologist, nontechnical reader, of the hardware and equipment used to create VR and AR. Then, the viability of VR and AR as a treatment or an assisting tool of treatment in the field of health psychology was discussed after a brief review of the literature on the treatment efficacy study of VR and AR. Possible applications of VR and AR in the field of health psychology were also explored. Finally, related issues were discussed.
