Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in Education

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are innovative technologies enhancing education. VR creates immersive digital environments, allowing students to explore virtual worlds—for example, walking through ancient cities or examining the human body in 3D. AR overlays digital information onto the real world, like viewing interactive 3D models of molecules or historical artifacts through a smartphone or tablet. Both methods make learning more engaging, interactive, and experiential, helping students understand complex concepts by visualizing and interacting with information in real-time. They extend traditional education, fostering deeper understanding and hands-on experiences.
