To use the Robotic Modeling Assistant (RoMA), a designer wears an AR headset with hand controllers.

VR in eLearning makes this possible and creates a completely new visual experience to improve learners\u2019 retention capacity and their understanding of the material.<\/li>\n<li>It lowers the risk factor \u2013 VR in eLearning can simulate dangerous and risky situations in an environment that is controllable, so that it removes the risk factor usually associated with such situations. This lets learners alleviate their fear of making a mistake.<\/li>\n<li>It facilitates complex data \u2013 Like the visual approach, when learners can really experience complex situations, they are more likely to handle them with ease. VR simplifies the complexity of those situations, allowing learners to actually experience everything themselves, rather than just reading about it.<\/li>\n<li>It offers remote access \u2013 VR in eLearning doesn\u2019t require an actual classroom so that learning can be conducted remotely, which can help you save a lot of time and money that would normally have to be spent on planning a complete learning program.<\/li>\n<li>It provides real-life scenarios \u2013 As mentioned, one of the greatest things about VR in the context of eLearning is that it allows learners to really immerse themselves in various virtual scenarios. For instance, if the learning program involves some real situation that a certain business has faced before, an employee will be able to handle such a situation more efficiently after experiencing it virtually.<\/li>\n<li>It is fun and innovative \u2013 People love to try out new things. VR offers a completely innovative and interactive approach to learning and makes learning become an entertaining, rather than an everyday dull process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kitaboo.com\/5-reasons-use-augmented-reality-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>5 reasons to use augmented reality in education<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0&#8212; from kitaboo.com<\/p>\n<p><em>Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">[AR] is making it possible to add a layer of enhanced reality to a context-sensitive virtual world.
