Abstract

Background and Aims: Understanding how immersive technologies like AR, VR, and MR can transform education by enabling interactive and experiential learning. By addressing adoption challenges and highlighting successful case studies, it aims to help educators and policymakers effectively integrate these technologies while promoting equitable access and informed decision-making. Thus, this paper aims to explore the role of AR, VR, and MR in enhancing learning experiences.

Methodology: The methodology ensures a thorough review by taking a systematic approach to data collection and analysis from various sources, with a focus on recent advances in immersive technologies. By combining qualitative and quantitative analyses, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how AR, VR, and MR affect educational practices and outcomes.

Results: Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) improve education by making difficult concepts more accessible and engaging. AR makes abstract concepts tangible, VR provides immersive experiences for deeper understanding, and MR connects the digital and physical worlds. These technologies work together to create interactive learning environments that meet a variety of learning needs, promote critical thinking, and encourage creativity.

Conclusion: Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) all improve education by making complex concepts more understandable and engaging through interactive experiences. These technologies create a dynamic learning environment by combining AR's tangibility, VR's immersion, and MR's integration of the digital and physical worlds.
