Abstract

This systematic literature review investigates the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing real-time holographic communication and immersive virtual interactions. By critically examining recent advancements in AI-driven body and facial tracking, environment generation, and realistic avatar creation, this review identifies current technological capabilities and persistent limitations within holographic communication systems. Challenges such as latency, computational demand, and seamless integration between tracking technologies and dynamic virtual environments are addressed. The synthesis highlights how AI techniques, including deep learning, reinforcement learning, and generative models, significantly enhance interactivity, responsiveness, and realism in virtual settings. The review concludes by proposing future research directions aimed at overcoming identified gaps through the integration of emerging technologies like 5G and 6G networks, emphasizing the potential transformative impact across sectors including education, healthcare, and entertainment.
