How can AR and VR foster creativity and innovation skills?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Creativity and innovation are essential skills for the 21st century, as they enable learners to solve complex problems, generate new ideas, and adapt to changing environments. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are emerging technologies that can foster these skills by creating immersive and interactive learning experiences. In this article, you will learn how AR and VR can enhance your educational outreach efforts by engaging your audience, stimulating their imagination, and challenging their assumptions.

1 What are AR and VR?

AR and VR are technologies that create simulated or enhanced environments for users to experience through devices such as headsets, glasses, smartphones, or tablets. AR overlays digital elements onto the real world, such as images, sounds, or information. VR transports users to a fully virtual world, such as a historical scene, a fictional setting, or a scientific simulation. Both AR and VR can provide realistic and multisensory feedback, such as sounds, vibrations, or haptics.

2 How can AR and VR engage your audience?

One of the benefits of using AR and VR for educational outreach is that they can capture and sustain the attention of your audience, especially if they are young, curious, or tech-savvy. AR and VR can create a sense of presence, immersion, and agency for the users, making them feel like they are part of the learning environment, rather than passive observers. AR and VR can also offer personalized and adaptive learning paths, allowing users to choose their own pace, level, and goals.

My team created a VR shop experience for the client. Instead of just showing what the demo could do, we let them try it. The hands on experience together with the immediate emotional connection because we branded the demo accordingly with the look and feel of the client's brand unleashed immediate creativity to discuss further use cases. In my opinion a way better way to show the art of the possible than just simple slides.

AR and VR provide opportunities for experiential, hands-on learning that goes beyond passive listening or reading. Active learning tends to be more engaging and effective, especially for kinesthetic learners. The novelty and interactivity of AR and VR can motivate students to participate in educational experiences. This motivation can promote time on task and focused attention. AR and VR can support collaborative learning by allowing students to share virtual spaces and interact with each other in new ways. Collaboration is key for developing communication, teamwork, and social skills. Immersive simulations in AR and VR create safe spaces for students to practice skills and confront challenges without real-world consequences.

3 How can AR and VR stimulate your audience's imagination?

Another advantage of using AR and VR for educational outreach is that they can spark and nurture the imagination of your audience, which is a key component of creativity. AR and VR can expose users to novel and diverse scenarios, perspectives, and possibilities that they might not encounter in their everyday lives. AR and VR can also encourage users to experiment, explore, and play with different elements, combinations, and outcomes, fostering their curiosity and divergent thinking.

Storytelling and worldbuilding in AR and VR enable students to construct their own interactive narratives and settings. The ability to build and share their imaginative ideas boosts creative confidence. Designing AR/VR experiences encourages problem-finding and problem-solving as students figure out how to turn their ideas into reality within the potentials and limitations of the technology. Multi-sensory experiences in AR/VR can inspire "thinking with the senses" - fresh ways of perceiving and imagining possibilities through visual, auditory, and even tactile information. Exploring imaginary places and interacting with digital objects/characters allows for pretend play, which research shows boosts divergent thinking in children.

4 How can AR and VR challenge your audience's assumptions?

A third benefit of using AR and VR for educational outreach is that they can challenge and transform the assumptions and beliefs of your audience, which is a crucial aspect of innovation. AR and VR can present users with realistic and complex problems that require them to apply their knowledge, skills, and creativity in new and unexpected ways. AR and VR can also expose users to different viewpoints, cultures, and values that might challenge their existing stereotypes, biases, or prejudices, promoting their critical thinking and empathy.

In my opinion, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are valuable tools for creating immersive empathy. These technologies allow users to experience situations that are often unfamiliar to them. It help individuals to better understand what it feels like to be in someone else's shoes. By making social issues more personal, immersive empathy challenges personal biases. For example, VR experiences that simulate the challenges faced by people with disabilities can provide genuine insight into their realities.

5 How can you design effective AR and VR experiences?

To maximize the potential of AR and VR for educational outreach, it is important to design meaningful and engaging experiences that align with learning objectives, audience needs, and available resources. To achieve this, you should first define your purpose and goals, such as what you want your audience to learn, feel, or do after the experience. You should also choose the right technology and platform to ensure the accessibility, usability, and quality of the experience. Additionally, designing your environment and interactions is essential, as you need to balance realism, fantasy, and interactivity. Finally, testing and evaluating your experience is critical for collecting feedback from your audience and stakeholders so that you can improve it based on data and insights.

Together with AI, AR and VR are trend topics when it comes to tools related to innovation in education, but as every educator should know, tools are tools, and using them should never be the sole goal of your learning experience, instead, the reflection upon how they were used and their effects. Ar and VR should go beyond merely illustrating a concept or having a gadget attached to someone's face: ? Why not use it for immersive storytelling? Besides the usual narratives, invest in journeys, paths and opportunities to discuss diversity. ? Or with simulations, training, virtual learning environments, and virtual tools? By exploring possibilities, reflections, and even working with digital twins? ? Collaborative Design Spaces, maybe?

6 What are some examples of AR and VR for educational outreach?

AR and VR are being used in various domains, such as science, art, history, and culture, for educational outreach. For instance, the Smithsonian Institution has created AR and VR experiences to explore its collections, exhibits, and stories. The British Museum has developed a VR experience that takes users to the ancient Egyptian tomb of Nebamun. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has launched an AR app that enables users to place and view artworks from its collection in their own spaces. Lastly, the World Wildlife Fund has created a VR experience that immerses users in the habitats of endangered animals and educates them about the threats and solutions for their conservation.

AR and VR can be used in many ways for educational outreach, independent of industry or in some cases even business units. Personally I think business units or industries that are very hands on have the best use cases: What if you are able to learn how a product works or the different steps in a production line just through the use of AR or VR? It's safer, engaging and after all even more sustainable because there is no use of actual resources.
