Emerging technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) offer innovative, immersive training environments, enhancing skills, and media literacy while providing cost-effective, engaging solutions. Objective: The review investigates how AR, MR, and VR technologies can support individuals with NDDs in workplace and training. Methods: A systematic review of studies across 6 databases was conducted. Selection criteria focused on studies published after 2016, involving immersive AR/MR/VR technologies, targeting NDDs in workplace contexts. Data extraction utilized qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis of 10 studies showed that AR and VR improved work performance and motivation in most cases, with features like assistive prompts and simplified interfaces aiding usability. No studies involving MR were identified. Key barriers included sensory overload and difficulties interacting with AR-/VR-elements, but these were not universal. AR was noted for workplace integration, and VR was linked to fewer reported complications compared to AR. A lack of standardized research frameworks and focus on mainstream labour markets was identified. Conclusions: AR and VR are promising tools for vocational training but require better accessibility, adaptability, and inclusion in broader labour market contexts to maximize their impact. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
