Various new immersive technologies have been developed and adapted to support teaching and learning in many different forms. The more known and prevalent types of these technologies are virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, as well as 3D object and immersive image development.
VR provides the ability to be in places you aren't or even places that do not exist. This allows the users of this technology to do research, exploration, and even prototyping that might have been otherwise dangerous or impossible.
