It investigates how these immersive technologies are used in education, healthcare (rehabilitation, pain management, safety training), urban planning, and skill acquisition. The journal also examines the underlying technological advancements, such as AI-driven avatars and generative models, and their influence on user experience, cognitive load, and cybersecurity within virtual environments. Furthermore, it addresses the evaluation of metaverse platforms and the integration of XR into human resource management and knowledge transfer processes.
