| description | Extended reality (XR, including Augmented and Virtual Reality) creates a powerful
intersection between information technology and cognitive, clinical, and education
sciences. XR technology has long captured the public imagination, and its development is
the focus of major technology companies. This article demonstrates the potential of XR to
(1) deliver behavioral insights, (2) transform clinical treatments, and (3) improve learning
and education. However, without appropriate policy, funding, and infrastructural
investment, many research institutions will struggle to keep pace with the advances and
opportunities of XR. To realize the full potential of XR for basic and translational research,
funding should incentivize (1) appropriate training, (2) open software solutions, and (3)
collaborations between complementary academic and industry partners. Bolstering the XR
research infrastructure with the right investments and incentives is vital for delivering on
the potential for transformative discoveries, innovations, and applications. |
