Overview

Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR and VR) have become common and more and more mature technologies within the last few years. Not only the gaming world uses AR and VR to make users feel more immersed into gaming experiences, many industrial enterprises have discovered AR and VR for training and further education of their staff. According to the Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies of 2019, Mixed Reality (as the overarching term for both) is no longer seen as an emerging technology, but has risen to the stage of productivity. Universities have also discovered AR and VR as an interesting new technology to foster teaching and learning processes. However, University lecturers often struggle to include new technologies into their lectures, even if it is often easier than expected. This Special Session seeks for a vivid representation and discussion of up-to-date AR and VR solutions in Engineering Education contexts. We are looking for practical examples, first-hand experiences and research on the development and implementation of such technologies.
