Wer eine Brille trägt, sieht besser. Wer eine AR- oder VR-Brille trägt, sieht mehr. Augmented und Virtual Reality reichern die Umgebung mit computergestützten Informationen an. Die realen und die virtuellen Welten werden "gemixt". Technologien mit Augmented Reality (AR = erweiterter Realität) und Virtual Reality (VR = virtueller Realität) erlauben einen neuen Blick in die Lern- und Arbeitswelt von heute und morgen.
Augmented reality allows the user to see the real world as well as additional virtual information. To experience and view the virtual layer, users need a smartphone, tablet, head-up display, holographic system or augmented reality glasses. AR technology is perfect for providing students with additional information and thus enhancing the learning process in the real world.
Learning by doing increases learning comprehension and retention of knowledge. However, the day-to-day work in industrial factories and the associated productivity targets mean that real processes there cannot be disrupted. Training in a VR environment is highly realistic and offers incredible options for technical vocational and advanced training, such as virtual maintenance work or realistic simulations of situations that would otherwise be life-threatening.
