ABSTRACT

Education is a foundational element of society that is concerned with sharing and expanding knowledge in the most efficient ways using, of course, new technologies. This makes education a perfect case for testing the technologies of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) solutions, respectively. Moreover, while education is treated with utmost seriousness, it is not without its issues, namely the limited availability of educational services and lack of trained personnel. Besides, there is a huge problem with people who have limited physical abilities or who live in places that are hard to reach. For these reasons, implementing VR/AR tech into the education system has become imperative. With the continuous development of modern information technology and the increasing level of science and technology, virtual reality and augmented reality technologies play a significant role in educational development. This paper focuses on the meanings, forms, key differences, and educational applications of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies.
