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.
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.
Virtual learning transforms learning processes into realistic learning experiences. This enhances students' understanding of technical systems. They immerse themselves in a virtual world where they can work independently on learning projects and content, learn together with others and actively and systematically acquire knowledge.
Virtual learning and mixed reality – make the learning experience:
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.
