Technology has been rightly called the wave of the future. Artificial intelligence (AI), artificial life (AL) and virtual reality (VR) are not exactly new terms, and it has been a while since we have been experiencing how these technologies are leading us to convergence. VR lets us produce simulated environments that we can then submerge ourselves into, AI is working towards outfitting technical devices and services with the help of insight and perception of a responsive being and thought, while AL is the art of examining natural life and humans through simulations with computer models, robotics and biochemistry. Major advances can be made to merge these three technologies to bring about a revolution in the world we live in. Bringing AI, AL and VR together can provide us with incredible opportunities in various domains like travel and tourism, lifestyle, healthcare, BFSI, retail, entertainment and many more. This chapter revolves around the various cases of using AI to augment the existing applications and the many areas where AI, AL and VR can be applied.
