Role of Virtual Reality (V/R) and Augmented Reality
(A/R) in modern training

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have transformed modern training programs by providing immersive and interactive learning experiences. These technologies present unmatched opportunities for hands-on practice, realistic simulations, and customised learning paths.


AR enhances the real world by adding digital information, offering learners relevant data and interactive features. This makes it particularly valuable for on-the-job training, as it allows learners to access instructions, guidance, and feedback in real-time while performing tasks. For example, in manufacturing, AR can assist workers in navigating complex assembly procedures by highlighting specific parts and providing step-by-step instructions, reducing errors and shortening the learning curve, ultimately boosting productivity.


In the healthcare sector, AR enables medical professionals to view anatomical structures superimposed on a patient, assisting in diagnostics and surgical tasks. AR-based training programs also allow medical students to practice procedures in a safe, risk-free environment, enhancing their skills and confidence.
