Immersive technology has drastically improved education, and it has created a platform for students across the globe to collaborate in their problem-solving skills and social issues. Immersive technology has also drastically improved the learning curve, thereby increasing efficiency and productivity. The use of immersive technology in learning entails reaching out to different groups of learners via an environment that embroils human’s five senses, especially sound, vision, and touch, unlike the outdated contrivances of video, audio, and hard copies.
Ways to use immersive technology in education
Some of the common ways to use immersive technology in education include virtual reality, projection domes, mixed reality, and augmented reality. Augmented reality can be explained as the integration of digital information with the user’s physical environment. Virtual reality creates a totally artificial environment with or without the use of exterior devices to act out sensory inputs. In mixed reality, physical and digital objects coexist and interact in real-time. Projection domes are geodesic domes equipped with projection and mapping equipment, providing a social immersive virtual reality experience.
