Description

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) can revolutionize how individuals experience and perceive the world. Effective and engaging wellness practices are made possible by these technologies personalized, immersive experiences. The organization endeavors to foster empathy and understanding by attending to physical, mental, emotional, and social health. Nevertheless, ethical deliberations are of the utmost importance, including privacy, proper data handling, and secure data access. Education, support, and accessibility are critical determinants of user acceptance. Additional areas that warrant further investigation include treatment efficacy, diversity, long-term effects, and ongoing progress. A more inclusive, engaging, and productive approach to individual and communal health is anticipated due to the expanding use of AR and VR in well-being. 2024, IGI Global. All rights reserved.
