If you wear glasses, you see better. If you wear AR or VR glasses, you see more. Augmented and virtual reality enhance the environment by adding computer-assisted content, thus merging the real and virtual worlds. Augmented and virtual reality technologies offer a new way of looking at the learning and working worlds of today and tomorrow.
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.
