Abstract

Though augmented reality (AR) has existed for decades, the technology's full impact is just beginning to become apparent. Since its inception, AR has shown significant promise for use in a wide variety of fields, including education, entertainment, art, and the sciences. This special issue focuses specifically on the impact of this unique technology on healthcare, particularly the areas of clinical training, patient education and treatment, and its use as a robust assessment tool. Now that technology is catching up with imagination, researchers are able to investigate these applications in earnest.
