Abstract:

Immersive technologies have been around for decades but recent technical advances have caused a huge surge in popularity within the last 24 months. Haven’t we been here before? Is this yet another failed push by the tech companies with gimmicky technology crying out for real-world applications? Or, have we reached a tipping point similar to the birth of the web in the early 90’s where it’s now time to get on board or be left behind? Given the huge investment in AR/VR by Facebook, Nokia, Microsoft and Samsung it’s imperative that we understand its potential and especially its application for learning and teaching.
