Abstract: AbstractThis systematic review analyzes the synergistic integration of Digital Twin (DT), Augmented Reality (AR), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies within aquaponics systems. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we identified and analyzed studies from IEEE Xplore and Scopus (2019–2024). The review reveals that while IoT is widely adopted, the integration of DT and AR remains fragmented, failing to function as a coordinated presence medium. The analysis identifies a critical theoretical ga[...]
