A publication entitled "Augmented and virtual reality in dermatology : where do we stand and what comes next?" has been published in Dermato (MDPI) (see below).

Description

The project explores the current state and future potential of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) in dermatology. It reviews applications in education, surgery, and diagnostics, highlighting tools like Virtual Derm and AI-integrated VR systems. Despite promising developments, AR/VR adoption in dermatology remains limited. The authors foresee AR, especially with haptic feedback, becoming more prominent in clinical practice.
