The world around us is changing with each passing day, and rapid advancements in technology continue to yield innovative solutions to help make our life easier. As the world evolves, educators around the world are also seeking new, exciting ways to make education more fun, interactive, and engaging. Adopting immersive technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) in the classroom offers just that. Like many, you may associate AR with gaming and entertainment applications like Pokémon Go or Snapchat. However, the potential of augmented reality is not limited to the realms of entertainment, AR is making contributions in diverse sectors, including education. In fact, a recent study  predicts the global market for AR in education, which stood at $1.5 billion in 2020, will reach up to $85 billion in 2031, accelerating at a super-colossal compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 80%. It also predicts the demand for AR content in K-12 education will grow at a CAGR of 75% over the next decade. An A

Quality education is the cornerstone for building a secure, successful future, and knowledge transfer has been a top priority for the human race since the beginning of time. With Gen-Z becoming more exposed to cutting-edge technologies, educators are constantly looking for ways to make education interactive, engaging, and more effective. In the era of digital transformation, we have the opportunity to improve the learning experience by using leading-edge technology. Don't you think it is time we did something to improve the knowledge transfer process? Immersive technology like Virtual Reality (VR) in education appears to be the natural next phase for the evolution of education. When you hear the word 'virtual reality,' you may associate it with the gaming and entertainment industry, but VR is not limited to just those industries. Virtual reality is making its mark in diverse fields, including education. Many institutions have started to adopt VR in cla

Virtual reality has been on the horizon for almost a decade, but often people have dismissed VR solutions as being too expensive.

Virtual reality is making a positive impact in diverse fields beyond entertainment and gaming as more industries start to realize the potential of VR-based learning in the workplace. A study  predicts the virtual reality market will grow from $6.1 billion in 2020 to $20.9 billion by 2025. The widespread availability combined with more affordable virtual reality devices are driving factors in the growth of the VR market. Adopting VR for workforce training offers about several advantages, such as faster learning, better collaboration, and enhanced employee engagement. In this blog, we explore the role of and benefi

Education is constantly evolving, and educators are looking for innovative ways to make learning fun, exciting, and interactive. Over the past few years, educators have come up with creative ideas to make education 'practical' to deliver an engaging learning experience. However, not all educational institutions have the financial prowess to construct state-of-the-art laboratories. Also, post the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are opting for online education, and if we ponder the question, "what is missing in online education?" The unequivocal answer would be the lack of practical elements in online learning modes. You may wonder, "If labs are expensive, do we need them?" or "Are there any affordable, feasible alternatives?" Adopting cutting-edge technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) in education has the potential to transform the way we teach and learn by offering a practical hands-on learning approach. Many institutions have begun to give seriou

Advances with the internet and technology over the past decade have changed the world in ways never imagined. For example, we can connect with people across the globe through video conferences and work from remote locations. As we inch closer to a more globalized planet, it is important to understand the value of learning new languages. A person able to speak several languages can connect with more people and win more business opportunities. But, let us be honest, learning and mastering a new language is challenging. When it comes to learning a new language, a lot of effort is required. From taking classes, reading books, watching foreign language movies, attempting quizzes, the list goes on. Further, gaining fluency often requires an immersive, interactive experience like speaking to a native speaker and observing other cultures. However, traveling to a foreign country and conversing with native speakers is not feasible for everyone, especially with the strict travel restrictions post
