Seminar Abstract
In this seminar, we will share what immersive technologies are and how they can provide us with superpowers to generate high-impact and effective educational experiences.
We will share real examples we have developed and their results, allowing participants to interact with some of these projects so they can better understand immersive technologies.
We will present some free applications with which those interested can easily start designing simple experiences that allow them to develop and test functional prototypes with their students.
We will also discuss some ideas for educational research that can be done with respect to the use of Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality.
