The journal looks into the current uses of spatial technology and how they are likely to impact the future. It is very likely that this technology will find its way into everyday life. The uses of which would prove to be very efficient within education and health alike. Thus, the effectiveness of XR is questioned within medical training, rehabilitation, and MIS, or minimally invasive surgical procedures. Specific surgeries aided with spatial technology are compared. The results of these surgeries provide insight into the future of the technology.

The article covers the foundations of spatial computing and how it relates to virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality. The applications of such are explored and the potential impacts or implications of such are brought into question. Limitations are outlined such as the overlay of information from a 2D environment to that of a 3D environment. Spatial limits are detailed, and their corresponding consequences are solved. A framework is provided in order to combat these limitations for future reference.

The consequences of the implementation of virtual reality within healthcare are listed and acknowledged within this scholarly journal. The journal charts different issues that range from barriers to conditions. Limitations are gathered as well as the factors that influence such observations. The negative effects of ignoring such limitations are also delved into. Extended reality could prove significant if secured properly and doing so indirectly affects its application in the medical field.

Spatial technology is explored in relation to augmented reality and MAR (Medical Augmented Reality). The frameworks are explained as information goes through both the physical and digital worlds. Multiple components are considered, such as sensors, perception, display, and user interaction. The future of MAR is considered and the requirements for this to be a possibility are explored. Possible challenges within the advancement of MAR are listed.

The roles of augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality as a whole are taken into account when considering the medical field. XR, or extended reality, has already proved substantial within healthcare and opens up many windows of opportunity. Specific applications are listed and briefly explained such as that of VRET and ARET. Therapeutic solutions are considered, and their effectiveness is outlined. Further applications are considered with more complexity besides rehabilitation.
