“…In addition, the VR group had a high degree of technology acceptance for using VR in the classroom. Regarding the academic achievement test, the ndings are consistent with the results of similar studies, which show that VR has a positive effect on learning achievements [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. In the present study, three speci c reasons can illustrate the bene ts of VR.…”

Background: Students should become familiar with spatial relationships around anatomical structures, not just their appearance and function. This is a challenge in traditional classrooms where students use 2D images of books and descriptive articles as a reference. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of VR training applied in anatomy training compared to conventional or 2D digital methods in the classroom.Method: Our quasi-experimental method used pre-test and post-test to measure academic achievement and technology acceptance questionnaires. A total of 92 fourth-year medical students were from three classes. They were randomly divided into three groups: 1) Traditional education group and 2) Virtual Reality education group 3) E-learning group (based on Moodle). To examine learning performance, the measurement tools included pre-test and post-test of anatomy and technology acceptance questionnaire.Result: The results showed that students who took anatomy courses in VR showed significantly higher academic achievement than those who taught through traditional methods. There was also a significant difference between E-learning and traditional groups and no significant difference was observed between E-learning and VR groups.Conclusion: The present study provides empirical evidence for the use of VR in anatomy education. In addition, it explains how to create and implement a VR-based class for formal educational purposes.

The recent advancements in digital technologies have led to exponential progress in dentistry. This narrative review aims to summarize the applications of Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality in dentistry and describes future challenges in digitalization, such as Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality represent effective tools in the educational technology, as they can enhance students’ learning and clinical training. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality and can also be useful aids during clinical practice. Augmented Reality can be used to add digital data to real life clinical data. Clinicians can apply Virtual Reality for a digital wax-up that provides a pre-visualization of the final post treatment result. In addition, both these technologies may also be employed to eradicate dental phobia in patients and further enhance patient’s education. Similarly, they can be used to enhance communication between the dentist, patient, and technician. Artificial Intelligence and Robotics can also improve clinical practice. Artificial Intelligence is currently developed to improve dental diagnosis and provide more precise prognoses of dental diseases, whereas Robotics may be used to assist in daily practice.

“…The use of fictionalized XR avatars to represent researcher and participant bodies can provide complete control over social manipulations and single-and double-blind study logistics [155]. Complicated data displays, technical instructions, and study processes such as informed consent are also easy for participants and researchers to visualize and interactively explore together in XR [156][157][158]. It will be critical to study XR for telehealth as a solution to extend historically localized research practices with mobility deployment to the general public and outreach for remote, underserved populations [159].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread challenges and revealed vulnerabilities across global health care systems. In response, many health care providers turned to telehealth solutions, which have been widely embraced and are likely to become standard for modern care. Immersive extended reality (XR) technologies have the potential to enhance telehealth with greater acceptability, engagement, and presence. However, numerous technical, logistic, and clinical barriers remain to the incorporation of XR technology into telehealth practice. COVID-19 may accelerate the union of XR and telehealth as researchers explore novel solutions to close social distances. In this viewpoint, we highlight research demonstrations of XR telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss future directions to make XR the next evolution of remote health care.
