- As VR technology and systems become more commercially available and accessible, more and more psychologists are starting to integrate VR as part of their methods. This paper aims to guide the psychologist into the novel world of VR, reviewing available instrumentation and mapping the landscape of possible systems. The authors propose that the biggest challenge for the field would be to build a fully interactive virtual human who can pass a VR Turing test - and that this could only be achieved if psychologists, VR technologists, and AI researchers work together.
