This course provides a comprehensive overview of AR/MR in healthcare by balancing theory, hands-on programming, and discussion of contemporary issues. The theoretical component traces the evolution of immersive simulation?from early Virtual Reality (VR) frameworks to today?s AI-enhanced Extended Reality (XR) systems. Students will critically examine how continued advances in computing (including Machine Learning and Digital Twin) are being integrated into AR/MR and how these technologies support human?AI collaboration in clinical contexts. On the practical side, students will develop core computational skills in AR/MR, including computer vision, spatial computing, user interaction design, and display technologies. Programming assignments will use Python for device-agnostic algorithms, alongside exposure to Unity engine (C#) and Xcode (Swift) for platform-specific development. Students will also be exposed to leading hardware, including the Magic Leap 2, Apple Vision Pro, and Ray
