Potentials and Challenges of Using Mixed Reality in Mining Education: A Europe-wide Interview Study

Advances in Computer-Human Interaction, Mar 22, 2020

In this regard, the number of students is constantly declining. Universities and educational institutions are struggling for financial resources to maintain the attractiveness of mining education. In particular, real-life experience gained through excursions is indispensable for the success of mining education, but also expensive to offer. A possible solution to meet these challenges is the usage of Mixed Reality based tools in teaching. This technology allows otherwise hardly accessible or dangerous scenarios to be experienced directly in the classroom. This paper presents the results of a European-wide interview study, in which the potential, chances and risks of the technology for the field of mining education are questioned. From the results, first indications for the use of Mixed Reality tools and further demands for research are derived.
