Author : Gireesh S, Venkatesh Gaddikeri, Sondarva Y M
ABSTRACT
Adopting agriculture`s future: Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) holds the key to combating the challenges posed by rapid population growth, resource depletion, and climate change in India`s economy and agricultural sector. Technology transfer becomes the bridge between cutting-edge research and practical application, empowering farmers with advanced tools and techniques. AR &VR emerged as a game-changing technology, seamlessly merging the virtual and real-world realms, and revolutionizing agricultural practices. Discover the promise of remote knowledge access and cost-effectiveness by immersing yourself in immersive experiences, interactive simulations, and real-time visualizations. AR & VR offers a transformational journey in everything from crop management to precision farming, training, and disease prevention. AVR tools, such as videos, presentations, and interactive multimedia, facilitate effective communication and knowledge transfer in agricultural extension by simplifying complex concepts and engaging farmers through visual and auditory means. The key to success is increasing awareness, developing alliances, supporting research, putting regulations into place, and assiduously tracking progress while overcoming infrastructural, cost, and data integration problems.
