Most of us somehow familiar with the term virtual reality but we are still uncertain about how it can be integrated into education and what are the latest developments in the field.
People who are slightly into technology like I was before, have met VR with sunglasses about 5-6 years ago but its presence goes back to 1970s with the creation of first VR Game by SEGA. VR divides into two as: Computer-enhanced VR and VR with glassess. For VR glasses, interms of educational applications, immersion is higher than computer screen. Thus, students are more likely to feel much more interested and motivated in the classroom environment.
2 weeks ago in our Intructional design course, we are given the chance to wear the VR glassess and experience it by using VR game apps and finally determine how it works, whether it is effective or not and etc.
You can see me and my friend Musa having a true(!) roller coaster experience with simple VR glassess.

(shocked by cutting edge technology)Secondly, augmented reality is something I've already mentioned in my earlier post with its application video. As you might guess, it is one step further than VR. Whereas virtual reality replaces your vision, augmented reality adds to it. AR devices like the Microsoft HoloLens and various smart glassess are transparent, letting you see everything in front of you as if you are wearing a weak pair of sunglasses.
The latest one, mixed reality is the combination of VR and AR.

While we are still dealing with VR and a bit of AR, technology might have gone too far. We need to catch the train on time in order for implementing it to our education in a better and a more effective way.
