Abstract

Incorporating Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) into education is transforming traditional learning settings by boosting interactivity, engagement, and accessibility. AR and VR technologies provide immersive experiences that transform theoretical concepts into visual and practical applications, effectively catering to various learning styles. This abstract explores the impact of AR and VR on educational outcomes, examining their applications across various disciplines, including STEM, humanities, and vocational training. It discusses the benefits of these technologies, such as improved retention rates, increased motivation, and the ability to simulate complex scenarios that are otherwise impossible in a conventional classroom setting. Furthermore, the abstract discusses the challenges related to adopting AR and VR, including costs, technical obstacles, and the necessity for teacher training. Through a comprehensive review of recent studies and pilot projects, this abstract aims to provide insights into the potential and limitations of AR and VR in shaping the future of education, highlighting the transformative power of these technologies in creating more effective and inclusive learning environments.

Keywords: Augmented reality, virtual reality, Prototyping, Accessible Education
