The sample is composed of 141 adults interested in using this technology. We adapted the standard items used to test the TAM and added a perceived cost factor as it was expected to play a role on Intention of Use. Structural equation modeling was used and, after removing several parameters, an adequate fit to the data was found. The final model revealed that Intention to Use VR is predicted only by Perceived Usefulness. These results pinpoint what should be better documented in order to foster the dissemination of virtual reality among clinicians.
