We conducted our study on sample of doctors of Saudi Arabia hospitals through interview and online survey in which some factors have been taken under consideration such as the motivations of use it, obstacles they faced, suitable field to use it and their opinions toward it. The preliminary finding of this study shows that more than fifty percent of physicians have already used VR technology and the majority of them were optimistic to use it. Moreover, we use a cause and effect diagram to illustrate the limitations of using VR technology and we proposed some solutions to overcome these limitations. We are going to discuss more about the results and further details.
