Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are becoming mainstream, with major corporations releasing consumer products, and non-experts using the systems to solve real world problems outside the traditional VR/AR laboratory. With the research and technological
advances, it is now possible to use these technologies in almost all domains and places. This provides a bigger opportunity to create applications that intend to impact society in greater ways than beyond just entertainment. Today the world is facing different
challenges including, but not limited to, in health, the environment, and education. Now is the time to explore how VR/AR might be used to solve widespread societal challenges.</span></p>
