Revolutionizing Education with Augmented and Virtual Reality
<p>If it’s not this, I applaud you. You’re a much better human being than me. However, this begs the question, how does AR/VR have anything to do with education or improving it? After all, isn’t it just used in video games and entertainment?</p>
<p>Although AR/VR entered the market with gaming to make it more digestible for the masses and easy to adopt, we can now begin expanding it beyond its original intended use.</p>
<p>TLDR;</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>What is augmented or virtual reality? </strong>An emerging technology that allows humans to interact in an augmented or virtualized world.</li>
<li><strong>Why implement AR/VR headsets in education?</strong> Because our education system is failing to keep society functioning at our current pace of growth.</li>
<li><strong>Constructivism– Supportive Learning Theory of AR/VR Integration</strong>: the thought that people best learn when constructing their own models of the world through personal experience.</li>
<li><strong>Why now? </strong>Reduce costs, increased exposure in the general population, and strong competition amongst companies spurring innovation.</li>
