Introduction
Virtual 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.
After two successful gatherings, the 3rd Virtual and Augmented Reality for Good (VAR4Good) workshop will keep bringing together researchers, developers, and industry partners in presenting and promoting research that intends to solve real-world problems using augmented and virtual realities. The 3rd VAR4Good will keep providing a platform to grow a research community that discusses challenges and opportunities to create Virtual and Augmented Reality for Good: VR/AR that helps humankind and society in more impactful ways.
