“…Moreover, all the researches mentioned above have studied the effects of VR which is different from AR. Indeed, AR is used most of the time in surgery or health ( 62 , 63 ). One of the only contexts where AR is used in healthy people to practice PA is Pokémon GO.…”

In recent years, the use of exergaming for physical activity practice has gain in popularity but few is known about the use of augmented reality for physical activity, particularly at moderate to vigorous intensities. The present study examined the use of an exergame in augmented reality for aerobic training in healthy young adults. In a within-subject design, 18 participants (19.8 ± 1.4 years of age) have performed two physical activity sessions playing dodgeball. Indeed, they realized a classical dodgeball session and an exergaming session with an augmented reality version of dodgeball game. Physical loads and intensities were measured with accelerometers, RPE and heart sensors. Enjoyment experienced during the sessions was measured with the short version of the physical activity enjoyment scale questionnaire. Results revealed that both physical load and intensity were appropriate for aerobic training in the two conditions (i.e., classical and exergame in augmented reality) although values were significantly higher in the classical condition. Enjoyment was high in the two conditions with a higher significant value in the classical condition compared to the exergame in augmented reality condition. Put together, these results indicate that an aerobic state can be attained through both physical gameplay and its augmented reality equivalent and was associated to a high level of enjoyment among healthy young adults.

“…The remarkable and rapid advancements in computer graphics technology, possibly linked to the increased efficiency of GPU data processing in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), has massively contributed to popularize this technology. This technology is affordable to the mass consumer market, consequently making it more accessible to research institutions and small companies with a focus on R&D ( 52 , 53 ). AR has also benefited a lot from improvements in Computer Vision (CV) field, with the commercialization of head-mounted AR devices allowing 3D stereoscopic view of digital objects and the possibility of interacting with those, even with bare hands.…”

“…Interactive AR is also called mixed reality (MR or XR). The potential of these technologies can be limited only by imagination, and medical simulation is already harnessing significant advantages from them ( 53 – 55 ). VR can be easily used to recreate various medical scenarios, including emergency rooms, operating rooms, ambulances, and even consulting rooms.…”

Despite the increasing body of evidence supporting the use of simulation in medicine, a question remains: when should we introduce it into the medical school's curriculum? We present the experience and future perspectives of the MD program in Medicine and Surgery of University of Turin-MedInTo. Since its launch, MedInTo has been dedicated to integrating innovative teaching approaches at the early stages into the medical curriculum. Herewith, we describe a case-based approach for our activities, which includes the utilization of simulation for emergency medical care training for students and the integration of virtual and augmented reality technology. Dedicated surgical training activities using virtual-augmented reality and life-like simulator for students are also described.
