Although consumer iVR technology is widely available and affordable, the pressing absence of freely available VRET platforms persists.
“Although consumer iVR technology is widely available and affordable, the pressing absence of freely available VRET platforms persists [54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64].”
From SAFEvR MentalVeRse.app: Development of a Free Immersive Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy for Acrophobia and Claustrophobia (2024) · cites this paper as [59]
The editorial (Research Topic section; page not specified in our copy) reports a significant drop in VR-headset costs and predicts wider use, lending some support to the affordability point. It does not say consumer immersive VR is already widely available, or identify an absence of freely available VRET platforms; the gaps it names concern depression treatment, diagnosis, and inclusiveness.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
