[A] live direct or indirect view of a
physical, real-world environment
whose elements are augmented (or
supplemented) by computer-
generated sensory input such as
sound, video, graphics or GPS data.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/vrarmredu-170503013454/85/VR-edu-10-320.jpg)
![Storytelling
Huge importance of setting:
“[I]n VR, we feel an urge to slow down, to
land and really explore the moment.” …
Lajeunesse and Raphaël want viewers to
stay focused on a moment for five, six, even
ten minutes. “For us, it’s not just about the
content itself,” Lajeunesse told me. “It’s also
about creating the right conditions for the
viewer to feel a part of it.”

This document discusses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies and their potential applications in higher education. VR uses software to simulate a user's physical presence in realistic 3D environments, while AR supplements the real world with computer-generated input. MR merges real and virtual worlds. These technologies offer opportunities for visualization, creative work, empathy building, and motivating difficult learning tasks in pedagogies. Issues around content discovery, hardware access, and computational challenges must also be addressed to fully realize their educational potential.

VR+AR=MR Mixed reality (MR),sometimes referred to as hybrid reality, is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time. Mixed reality takes place not only in the physical world or the virtual world, but is a mix of reality and virtual reality, encompassing both augmented reality and augmented virtuality.
