Augmented reality in education exploring the advantages.pptx

A presentation on virtual and augmented reality

1. Augmented and Virtual reality in education Mr M.S Maseko University of Johannesburg

2. WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY(AR) 3 CHARECTERISTICS OF AR Amalgamation of real and virtual environments 3D visualization of virtual and real environments. Real-time engagement Dalela (2025) DEFINED AS TECHNOLOGY THAT BLENDS VIRTUAL OBJECT WITH REALITY

3. AUGMENTED REALITY IN EDUCATION Display digital objects into the real world. Grasps learners attention in the classroom. Fosters inclusion to physically disadvantaged learners ( Dalela , 2025).

4. WHY AUGMENTED REALITY IN THE 21 ST CENTURY A comprehensive explanation of abstract and complex concepts. Does not require complex and extra tools. Assist in learners practical assessments. Makes learning more accessible. Increases learners motivation ( Athik , 2020).

5. Virtual Reality Takes users fully into the digital environment ( Athik , 2020). An illusion of a 3D, Interactive, computer generated reality(BhagyaReddy8, 2025 ).

6. 📊 AR vs VR Comparison Augmented Reality (AR) Enhances the real world by overlaying digital elements Real and virtual coexist together Smartphones, tablets, AR glasses Blends physical and digital ( Javaid & Haleem , 2020). Virtual Reality (VR) Fully immerses the user in a computer-generated environment User is isolated in a fully digital world VR headsets, controllers, sensors Completely digital, simulated environment

7. ENGAGEMENT TIME Do you think AR will replace smartphones in the future? Why or why not ? Would you trust doctors trained mainly through VR simulations ? Which industry do you think will benefit the most from AR & VR in the next 10 years?

8. VIRTUAL REALITY HARDWARE Primary user input interfaces. Tracking interfaces. Visual interfaces. Auditory interfaces. Haptic interfaces. Olfactory interfaces.

9. VIRTUAL REALITY SOFTWARES INPUT PROCESS SIMULATION PROCESSES RENDERING PROCESSES WORLD DATABASE ( Mmamakoko , 2024)

10. APPLICATIONS OF VR SYSTEM EDUCATION & TRAINING DRIVING SIMULATORS SHIP SIMULATORS FLIGHT SIMULATORS TANK SIMULATORS ( Mmamakoko , 2024) MANUFACTURING EASY TO MODIFY LOW COST HIGH EFFICIENT LACK OF TEACHER TRAINING

11. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES ADVANTAGES CAN ALLOW TRAINING OF STUDENTS WITHOUT EXPOSING THEM TO DANGER. PROVIDES IMMERSIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE. ENHANCES COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION. DISADVANTAGES CREATES SOCIAL ISOLATION. HIGH START UP COSTS. RISKS OF MOTION SICKNESS. POTENTIAL FOR DISTRACTION ( Wohlgenannt et al., 2020)

12. Constructivism: Active, hands-on learning. Experiential Learning: Abstract → concrete through immersion. Inquiry-Based: Safe space to test & explore ideas. Social Learning (Vygotsky): Peer collaboration in virtual spaces. Cognitive Development (Piaget): Enhances abstract & spatial reasoning ( Wohlgenannt et al ., 2020). PEDAGOGICAL CONNECTION: WHY AR & VR MATTER FOR LEARNING
