In medicine, they enhance surgical precision, medical training, rehabilitation, and remote consultations by providing immersive and real-time data-driven environments. Education benefits from interactive and skill-based learning, making complex subjects more engaging and accessible. In social robotics, AR/VR improves human-robot interactions, emotional intelligence in AI assistants, and robotic telepresence. Mental health applications include VR-based exposure therapy, stress management, and PTSD treatment through controlled, immersive simulations. Industrial training leverages VR for hazardous work simulations and AR for real-time assistance, increasing workplace safety and efficiency. In addition, AR supports precision medicine by overlaying real-time visuals during surgeries for improved accuracy. The integration of AI, haptic feedback, and 5G is expected to further advance these technologies. However, ethical concerns regarding data privacy and prolonged VR exposure require careful regulation. Overall, VR and AR continue to revolutionize various sectors, enhancing engagement, efficiency, and personalization in professional and therapeutic settings. 2026 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
