In recent years, technology has advanced at a brisk pace, which has led to the adoption of powerful technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in many industries. Virtual reality technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we teach and learn as it presents an immersive environment to explore things outside a traditional classroom and helps students understand complex topics with relative ease in a short time. A study  by the National Training Laboratory shows that retention rates in conventional learning methods were at 10 percent, while VR-based learning had a retention rate of 75 percent. So, it is time we took the educational experience up a notch by incorporating VR for schools and colleges. Here, we make a case for using VR in labs, illustrating how it is being used and the benefits of using VR labs in academies. In this blog, What Is a Virtual Reality Lab? Virtual vs. Physical Labs Ideas to Use VR Labs for Schools and Colleges Benefits of VR L...

Just a decade ago, Virtual Reality (VR) was a fancy thing in Hollywood sci-fi movies for most of us. However, swift technological advancements in the past few years led to the rise of powerful technologies like VR in the mainstream. Although VR entered the scene as a user experience enhancement tool in the gaming industry, it has quickly made its mark in other sectors due to its potential to deliver "life-like" experiences. Education is one of the fields that benefit immensely by incorporating VR technology. Virtual reality in education makes learning simple, fun, and practical by providing an immersive learning experience. In this blog, we will take a look at 10 current use cases of VR in education. 1. Virtual Field Trips Virtual field trips are a widespread application of VR technology in the education industry. It enables students to explore different locations on earth and 'teleports' them to places that may be infeasible to visit in real life due to various ...

Technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have seen immense growth in the last decade. Gone are the days when AR was seen as a mere tool to enhance the entertainment industry. Augmented reality is making its mark in several industries, including education. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, tech-based learning has turned heads, and more educators have started to migrate from traditional learning methods. Augmented reality is a leading EdTech trend, and according to ABI Research , the value of AR for education is estimated to reach US$5.3 billion by 2023. In this article, we give five reasons that highlight how AR can transform school education. 1. Potential of Visualized Learning When it comes to education, the power of visual content cannot be downplayed. AR-based education uses 3D-image models and digital projections, which help students understand complex concepts with relative ease. For example, instead of looking at an image in a textbook, students can see a ...
