[1] It allows teachers and learners to interact with simulated objects in virtual environments. [2] [3] [4]
Augmented learning is an on-demand learning technique where the environment adapts to the learner. By providing remediation on-demand, learners can gain greater understanding of a topic while stimulating discovery and learning. [1]
A woman using the Manus VR glove development kit in 2016. In virtual reality (VR), immersion is the perception of being physically present in a non-physical world. The perception is created by surrounding the user of the VR system in images, sound or other stimuli that provide an engrossing total environment.
