Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in Education: Enhancing Learning Experiences
Abstract
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are transforming education by providing immersive and interactive learning experiences. This paper explores the significance of AR and VR in education, emphasizing their role in virtual classrooms, simulation-based training, and educational games. It delves into various aspects, including AR headsets, VR simulations, and 3D educational content. The discussion includes the benefits of AR and VR in education, such as enhanced engagement, experiential learning, and accessibility. Moreover, the paper addresses the challenges and considerations in integrating AR and VR into the educational curriculum, including cost implications and content development. Through a review of AR and VR applications in education, the study highlights the positive outcomes associated with the adoption of these technologies in the learning environment.
