Research on Augmented Reality in nursing still in its infancy

The use of Augmented Reality, such as that used in the widely popular video game Pokemon Go, has recently expanded within education, medicine, video games, and many other fields. In this blog post, the authors of a new review of Augmented Reality in nursing, published in BMC Nursing, discuss why they chose to focus on this field and what they found.
Augmented Reality
In recent years, there has been an increase in the development of innovative digital technology, including Augmented Reality (AR). AR is the overlaying of virtual content on a user’s view of the real world. Cases supporting the use of AR smart glasses exist if an application is needed to be timely, mobile, and hands-free and continuous attention on the task is necessary. For example, in maintenance a worker could use a smart glass with a live-streaming feature to get advice of technicians, including watching demonstrations, while doing the work. Because of the novelty of AR applications, we find ourselves at an interesting waypoint in the process of finding further use cases for AR.
