Benefits of immersive learning using AR/VR : Next Reality Labs

What if we can use augmented reality and virtual reality in our education system? We were also curious about how students especially school students react with immersive learning.

To know their response, we started a new campaign, Know the Next Reality in which the immersive experience of augmented reality and virtual reality is introduced to school and college students across Kerala.

Actually we got stunned by the response from kids when they saw their favourite superheroes through augmented reality. Students enjoyed the VR guided tour through which they experienced what they saw in their textbooks.

What our tension was whether they could use the virtual reality without any fear. But they simply blend in the virtual environment with the first experience itself.

This made us think, why can't we setup AR/VR labs at schools which led us to the idea of Next Reality Labs in which students can experience what they learn.

The following are the benefits of setting up Next Reality Labs at schools and colleges.

  • By creating an immersive and interactive learning experience without the use of textbooks, AR and VR technology empowers learners to explore and learn at their own pace, thus stimulating learning and comprehension and enhances critical retention. So, the students can view, learn and interact with the equipment which are not physically available in the college using virtual reality
  • Students can learn and do innovative projects using Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality so that they can get hands-on experience in these futuristic technologies which boosts their chances of getting better career.
  • Students can create VR simulation systems through which they can visualize and learn about future concepts. It also helps them to increase imaginative powers
  • This lab helps faculties in explaining various concepts that are difficult to students through 3D visualizations and guided tours.
  • Labs also can be made into a virtual workshop of infinite equipment. So that students can interact, learn, and innovate on the equipment relevant to their field without any physical limitations.

We set up virtual reality labs with standalone VR headsets. Oculus Go is the most economical standalone headset that can provide a high-quality virtual reality experience to students. These headsets can be used to watch 360-degree VR videos related to the curriculum.

Also, students can do experiments related to physics, chemistry, and other subjects through VR. For this purpose, Oculus Quest is included in our lab package since it provides more features to interact with virtual objects.

Our AR desk, and specialised curriculum based on the existing syllabus, students can learn various concepts of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology through AR visualisations and VR guided tours.
