Use of AR and VR In Education

    

     These words might not be familiar for dinosaurs but not us, Augmented Reality (A.R.) and Virtual Reality (V.R.) are two of the novel technologies in the industry. VR is basically a screen that makes your vision 100% changed and lets you see different types of environments. AR is an augmentation tool with glasses that basically advances your vision by creating flying panels around your eyes just like in a science fiction film.

   VR use in education is really beneficial in these lockdown days as it helps students and teachers to be assembled again in a digital class. Students can analyse worlds that they have never seen, for example, a mining Engineer trainee can see Mponeng Gold Mine, Garzweiler Surface Mine or even Hpakant Jade Mine without leaving their houses. VR is an efficient tool in economic factor, students do not always have wealthy parents, so they cannot always go abroad and visit special places, VR helps breaking the boundaries stemming from financial issues this way. 

   VR can be used in informal education too like swimming classes that are given by local municipality. People with sea sickness or motion sickness can overcome their fears with experiencing the sea in the first hand. Swimming simulators can be a great help for challenged people also, as they cannot go to sea easily. 

   AR use in education have a lot of benefits, it fuses the real vision with artificial images, this is like seeing two worlds at the same time, you are on two different planes and you get best of the both. Seeing a volcano eruption on your geography coursebook by scanning a QR code is fascinating.
