The Benefits of Augmented and Virtual Reality in the Accounting Field

ABSTRACT

New technologies are being employed to improve operations in the accounting field. The application of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented reality (AR) in the field of accounting has long been debated; nevertheless, one of the primary obstacles has been that the technologies have been prohibitively expensive for educational institutions and businesses. However, the technology has advanced since then, and it is now more accessible than ever. This paper is a qualitative study that investigates the benefits and applications of virtual and augmented reality technology in the accounting industry. We discovered through qualitative analysis that virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are very helpful in accounting education and training where an interactive and engaging environment is required. Virtual reality and augmented reality technologies also provide an immersive experience, fostering participation and active learning in the accounting field. The potential benefits of using virtual reality and augmented reality systems in accounting will be investigated and discussed.
