Its objective is to present a literature review about how these technologies can complement multiple aspects of the HRM processes, such as selection, initial organizations, training, and appraisals. As a result, the present work aims at identifying the strengths and weaknesses of AR and VR applications and comparing them when applied to various scenarios related to HRM.
