“…They concluded that using immersive 3D rendering is more effective and allows measurements for 3D metrology in AM straightforwardly compared to existing tools. Pirker et al [24] reviewed application scenarios that benefit from a combination of VR and digital twins. Similarly, Del Vecchio et al [8] provided a systematic literature review to investigate the intersection of VR and digital twins in industrial contexts.…”

“…Collaborative VR can be used to improve several aspects of these processes, including team communication, intuitive interactions, and real-time synchronization for collaborative tasks over distance. However, current integrations for AM parts exploration and inspection are still underutilized and are not flexible concerning the aim of the process, e.g., collaborative scenarios and team setup [23,24].…”

“…The combination of DTs and immersive technologies has primarily been utilized in the manufacturing domain [29], and there is emerging evidence of its potential use cases in healthcare as well. Some use cases of VR in conjunction with DTs offers a safe and immersive platform for training, enhancing skills, and refining medical techniques, remote operations, and remote collaborations, for instance, in surgeries [30]. This integration allows clinicians to practice complex procedures in a virtual environment.…”

The concept of precision medicine involves tailoring medical interventions to each patient’s specific needs, considering factors such as their genetic makeup, lifestyle, environment and response to therapies. The emergence of digital twin (DT) technology is anticipated to enable such customization. The healthcare field is, thus, increasingly exploring the use of digital twins (DTs), benefiting from successful proof of concept demonstrated in various industries. If their full potential is realized, DTs have the capability to revolutionize connected care and reshape the management of lifestyle, health, wellness and chronic diseases in the future. However, the realization of DTs’ full potential in healthcare is currently impeded by technical, regulatory and ethical challenges. In this chapter, we map the current applications of DTs in healthcare, with a primary focus on precision medicine. We also explore their potential applications in clinical trial design and hospital operations. We identify the key enablers of DTs in healthcare and discuss the opportunities and barriers that foster or hinder their larger and faster diffusion. By providing a comprehensive view of the current landscape, opportunities and challenges, we aim to contribute to DTs’ ongoing development and help policymakers facilitate the growth of DTs’ application in healthcare.

In the context of shipbuilding, the potential of virtual reality (VR) as a visualization tool has been demonstrated [1, 2]. However, many conditions must be met for VR to be widely adopted in the shipbuilding industry. It primarily must be seamlessly integrated into current workflows. The shipbuilding industry will likely first need to tame its data with efficient models accessible throughout the ship’s lifecycle. However, some productivity issues with VR have not yet been identified clearly. While working to develop a VR design tool for ship outfitting, it became clear to us that there is a need for industrydriven development of efficient data interaction and manipulation tools in VR. As an example of such new manipulation tools, we are currently developing a new way to input text in VR that is efficient and easy-to-learn through handwriting. The evaluation of this system highlights the need for more controlled and systematic testing of VR tools in the shipbuilding industry to justify investments and adoption.
