Viswanathan, Panneer Selvam (2025) Convergence of Conversational AI with IoT and AR/VR: A systematic review of emerging applications and industry transformations. International Journal of Science and Research Archive, 14 (1). pp. 1085-1093. ISSN 2582-8185

Integrating conversational AI with emerging technologies fundamentally transforms human-computer interaction across multiple sectors and applications. This article comprehensively analyzes how conversational AI converges with the Internet of Things (IoT) and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) technologies to create more intuitive, responsive, and immersive user experiences. By systematically examining current implementations, we explore the synergistic relationships between these technologies in smart environments, healthcare systems, industrial operations, and educational platforms. The article reveals that while this technological convergence offers unprecedented opportunities for automation, personalization, and enhanced user engagement, it also presents significant challenges regarding system integration, data privacy, and security. The findings indicate that successful implementation requires careful consideration of infrastructure requirements, user experience design, and privacy frameworks. This article contributes to the growing body of knowledge on multi-modal technology integration. It provides insights for researchers, developers, and industry practitioners working towards the next generation of intelligent interactive systems. The article concludes by identifying critical areas for future research and development in this rapidly evolving field.
