Augmented reality (AR) has widespread applications in every field imaginable. This technology has proven to be an inflection point in numerous verticals, improving lives and improving performance. In this chapter, the various possible applications of AR in the medical field is explored. The objective of using AR in medicine or generally in any field is the fact that AR helps in motivating the user, making sessions interactive and assists in faster learning. This chapter discusses the applicability of AR in the field of medical diagnosis. AR technology reinforces remote collaboration, allowing doctors to diagnose patients from a different locality. Additionally, it is believed that a much more pronounced effect can be achieved by bringing together the cutting-edge technology of AR and the lifesaving field of medical sciences. AR is a mechanism that could also be applied in the learning process. Similarly, virtual reality (VR) could be used in the field where more practical experience is needed such as driving, sports, and neonatal care training. Experiments were conducted on the newly developed VIRECAR system, which is based on the virtual environment, for learning the vehicle driving process.
