Virtual and Augmented Realities in Education by the year 2030



Virtual and Augmented Realities in Education by the Year 2030 

 As we all know, Education is very important to everyone growing up, whether it be starting your first day of kindergarten or your first day of university. The introduction of Augmented Reality into education will change the conventional way we learn, it will provide us with new ways of learning and exploring our ideas, and at the same time further our interests.  Imagine walking through your college or Universities campus and it resembling the Hallways of Hogwarts in Harry Potter. Now I bet you wouldn’t want to miss a day of school, now would you?

By the year 2030, the virtual world will be a part of our physical world. Nowadays, all our smartphone devices are used to access different social media platforms, keeping in contact with friends and family as well as playing games, watching videos or movies. Very rarely are our smartphones used to assist us in our homework. Well, all that will change. Combining smartphones and Augmented Reality will make that possible, instead of spending time trying to figure out concepts that are difficult, by scanning your smartphone over certain content, it will automatically provide you with tips, explanations, videos or audio from the teachers to help make more complex instructions clearer. (T, M. 2018)

The setup of the classrooms/Campuses will be more eye catching, interactive and help motivate children to study. There will be more digital content, available to students such as photos, videos, words and numbers that students will be able to have a glimpse of just through the use of their smartphones. “Its as if the devices are ‘Windows ‘into a digital Realm.” (SasTak. 2017)

With the help of Augmented Realities present in the classroom, it will help children understand and imagine objects and concepts that are hard to grasp. It will turn concepts into 3D models, it will be beneficial to students who are visual learners and help translate “Theoretical material into a real concept” making is easier for students to understand. (T, M. 2018)
    
By 2030, once Augmented Reality will be introduced fully into classrooms, it will change the way we teach and the way we learn. Teachers will be able to engage and motivate students to study, by providing new and improved techniques of learning and students will be given new tools that will help the have a more hands-on experience when it comes to understanding complex concepts in a number of subjects.

How are Social Media and AR/VR going to interact in 2030

Here are few ideas of how social media will look like in 12 years from now ·          It will be more experiential, rather than what it is now, representative media. Experiential meaning involving all the senses, stimulating the participants perception of touch, taste and smell alongside sight, suggests Toshi Hoo, director of the IFTF’s (Institute for the Future) Emerging Media Lab  (Walker, J., 2017). ·          Hoo also mentions that there will be a fundamental shift in the way the information is presented and experienced. With social media adding AR and VR, it won’t be one dimensional as it is now.  (Walker, J., 2017).           By   2030, the web will have escaped the screen.

Apple: Last year Apple released ARkit, which "will help developers create augmented reality apps for apple devices" (new gen apps, 2017). They are also in talks about created a headset, that will most likely be able to plug into the headphone jack and people are able to step into an alternate universe using their phones (new gen apps, 2017). Google: Google is working to create a device called google glass which is "voice-controlled Android device that resembles a pair of eyeglasses and displays i...
