Exploring AR’s Potential for Empathy and Nonverbal Communication Training

I’ve been diving into the intersection of augmented reality and neuroscience lately, and it’s fascinating to think about how AR could help people develop empathy and nonverbal communication skills. Imagine being able to step into someone else’s perspective or practice reading subtle facial expressions in a controlled, immersive environment.

Has anyone come across examples of AR being used this way? I’m curious about how realistic the simulations could be and whether they’d actually translate to real-world interactions. Also, do you think this kind of training could have applications in fields like global health, where understanding cultural nuances and emotional cues is so important? Would love to hear your thoughts or any resources you’ve found on this!
