The Power of Virtual Reality in Education

A number of studies show that the use of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in training boosts both engagement and knowledge retention, enabling educational organizations to enforce consistent and measurable standards on a large scale. With the implementation of multi-user Virtual Reality environment (Metaverse), we are now discovering ways to ensure more efficient acquisition of new skills and competences in remote “live” education. With this innovative technology, schools are able to reduce the time spent in traditional classrooms, provide digitalization of materials and entire curricula to their students, while at the same time reducing the overall costs of education processes. With the rise of Metaverse, the term “Equality in Education” is finally becoming a reality around the world.
