Playlab Introduction

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in Education

Artificial intelligence (AI ) is often used to enhance and improve both VR and AR technologies, which are, in turn, being integrated into educational experiences, creating immersive and interactive learning environments. VR allows students to explore simulations, historical events, or scientific concepts, while AR overlays digital information onto the real world, enhancing understanding and engagement. Explore some of the best examples of these technologies below:

Skyview

The SkyView app allows students to explore the universe using AR overlays of the night sky. With SkyView, anyone can point their mobile device upward to identify stars, constellations, planets, and even satellites. 

Froggipedia

Froggipedia app allows students to explore the internal organs of a frog via the app’s AR technology. 

Microsoft HoloLens

Microsoft HoloLens has developed a way for medical students and clinicians to learn about the human body using mixed reality. Students can flow through the bloodstream, isolate, enlarge, and even walk inside the components of the human body to not only understand anatomy but learn how to treat different medical conditions. 

1943 Berlin Blitz in 360 Degrees

Produced for the BBC by Immersive VR Education, 1943 Berlin Blitz in 360° uses real-life footage from a nighttime raid of Nazi Germany to help students understand what it was like to live through a significant historical event. 

Google Expeditions

Google Expeditions. allows instructors to take their students on highly immersive school trips to places like the Louvre or the base camp of Mount Everest.

Virtual Speech

VirtualSpeech helps users improve their public speaking skills with immersive, realistic virtual reality simulations. 

Museum of Fine Art

Steam’s VR Museum of Fine Art allows users to view world-class paintings and sculptures up close – including the Mona Lisa – without fighting with crowds or protective glass. 

Mondly

Learning languages can feel very theoretical when you’re reading books, but virtual reality educational software companies like Mondly can provide an immersive language-learning experience without having to travel to a foreign country. In Mondly’s VR worlds, you can have real conversations with real people, making your language learning more powerful and more likely to stick.
