As microbial bioremediation strategies transition from laboratory setups to complex field environments, scientists face several challenges: monitoring microbial behavior in situ, communicating spatial and temporal data to stakeholders, and ensuring ecosystem safety. Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly being explored as a digital interface that can enhance visualization, real-time monitoring, and data interpretation in environmental sciences. While AR has been widely applied in environmental education and industrial monitoring, its use in microbial bioremediation is emerging, supported by advancements in geospatial data integration, omics visualization, and field-based digital interfaces.
