IMPACT AND APPLICATION OF AUGMENTED REALITY ON MEDICAL FIELD
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Background of the study
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have been new technology in the market.
Technologies have been enhancing in daily basis in the market. Therefore, VR and AR have
been n two of the modern technology used in various fields including education and healthcare
industry. According to report of media in 2016, VR and AR have been popularized with the help
of docile media including Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo (Sanna, & Manuri, 2016). There are
various videos uploaded over these social media platforms related to VR and AR.
This research has helped in focusing in the impact if the AR and VRT in the medical field.
The use of the technology in the medical field have been discussed in the research. Various
elements of the VR and AR have been described in the research related to medical field.
1.2 Rationale
As commented by Hamza-Lup, Rolland & Hughes (2018), real environment and virtual
environment have been two aspects of the technology. These technologies have been used in
various fields including education, military and medical fields. The use of the VR and AR have
been helping in maximizing the efficiency in the medical field. Mixed reality has been a
combination of both AR and VR in the real and virtual environment. The use of the AR and VR
in the medical field have been helping in surgery, medical consultation, medical diagnosis,
medical education and training (López, Navarro & Crispin, 2018). Therefore, there have been
huge applications of AR and VR ion the healthcare industry.
