Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in education: A review

Abstract

The emerging field of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) systems and solutions lead to new opportunities for learning and education. In this review we investigate how and why VR/AR tools and applications contribute to the learning of new knowledge and skills, using a core set of literature reviews, and we also look at the research and development of VR/AR within the Utrecht University. We draw some conclusions and propose recommendations. The report is the result of a cooperation between teachers and researchers of the Utrecht University.
