Immersive Virtualization Immersive Virtualization
Topics •Introduction • Extended and augmented Reality • Mixed and Virtual Reality • Implications. Introduction •The concept of continuous learning used to be progressive, but now it has become a necessity for most of us.
•Even the working professionals moonlight as students.
•This is one of the key reasons why educational
technology is such a rapidly growing industry. Introduction(contd..) •Educational institutions are seeking the ways to invest in novel educational apps and learning technologies.
•And at present, there are two trends rising in the EdTech field; extended reality and gamification (Gamification is the strategic attempt to enhance systems, services, organizations, and activities in order to create similar experiences to those experienced when playing games in order to motivate and engage users)
•These trends are seen in apps covering the entire range of
subjects from geography to math to foreign languages, and even practical expertise like operating facility machines or direct cardiac message. Introduction(contd..)
•AR adds to reality through phones and tablets;
•VR creates a new reality via headsets.
•AR is better for isolated, technical topics;
•VR is better for complex, soft-skill content.
• AR training and VR training are both expensive,
but the long-term ROI proves worthwhile. Introduction(contd..) •Virtual and augmented reality in the academic or educational applications have proven to bring a new kingdom of possibilities for developing engaging and enriched learning experiences.
•When it is about the educational apps, a virtual
environment typically refers to a system that lets the designers develop simulations.
• A simulator creates an environment that mimics the behavior and
configurations of a real device. • An emulator duplicates all the hardware and software features of a real device. Introduction(contd..) • New tools are changing the face of education today.
•The purpose of such virtual environment’s apps may
differ greatly, for instance,
• the factory workers might require determining how to run
complex machinery at their assembly line,
• pilots might need virtual training before being entrusted with the real planes, and
•employees learn how to familiarize themselves with a new
building. Introduction(concluded)
•Right now, there are numerous businesses competing to deliver
their own version of virtual experiences in a gamified setting.
•Now, gamification is broadly applied being a part of the strategy
for promoting educational activities as well as healthy lifestyles by making the monotonous or even stressful tasks such as studying and exercising with meaning feedback loops that promote engagement. Extended Reality •Think of reality as a path, starting with analog real life and ending with fully digital representations.
•The first step on that path is “augmented reality” (AR), overlaying
digital information and elements on top of the live, real world.
•About halfway down the path is “mixed reality” (MR), in which
digital objects are embedded into the real world as though they were a part of it.
• At the very end of the path is “virtual reality”(VR), in which the
real world is shut out and you’re inside a fully digital environment. Extended Reality (concluded) •All of these increasingly huddle together under the umbrella term of “extended reality” (XR), covering all steps along the “virtuality continuum.”(The virtuality continuum is a continuous scale ranging between the completely virtual, a virtuality, and the completely real, reality.)
•Extended Reality (XR) offers this promise of an improved
interface by making technology ready to hand.
•XR is an umbrella term that encompasses both augmented reality
(AR) and virtual reality (VR), although experts agree there’s some inconsistency in the way these terms are used.
•AR and VR are the two points on the spectrum of what we call “immersive computing.” Augmented Reality
•Augmented reality brings graphics, haptic feedback, sounds, and
smell to the natural world as it exists.
•Both cell phones and video games are driving the augmented reality development.
•Everyone from soldiers to tourists to someone seeking
for the closest subway stop can now be benefitted from the possibility to put computer-generated graphics in their field of vision. Augmented Reality (contd..) •The blended use of augmented reality (AR) and gamification in numerous fields is presently gaining much popularity for its ability in engaging users.
• Meanwhile, the AR is a technology that overlaps the
