Industry research predicts EdTech is expected to reach $680.1 billion by 2027, growing at an annual rate of 17.9%. Augmented Reality is the hot and most significant trend in EdTech. The value for AR in EdTech is expected to exceed $5.3 billion by 2023, presenting a pool of opportunities for educational tech start-ups, businesses, and educational institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EdTech companies are digitizing the K-12, college, professional certifications, and competitive learning. They have realized that AR\/VR in EdTech acts as the value-added service, enhancing engagement in internet-powered training. AR\/VR allows learners to visualize and explore complex concepts in a distraction-free, real-world environment and let them connect with concepts easily. AR\/VR can democratize education and offer a personalized tailored learning experience for learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Here are the few benefits of AR\/VR in EdTech<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Effective learning and boosts retention<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Learning with simulations and full immersion will enhance the learning process and facilitate learners to connect multiple complex concepts easily&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Improved learner engagement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/augray.com\/blog\/how-ar-vr-technology-is-more-than-just-gaming\/\"> Gamified<\/a> and interactive experience can make learning fun, and effortless while keeping learner engaged throughout.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Experiential and experimental learning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Visualize 3D models and precise simulation of theories can help learning the concept easily.

With AR\/VR, the right content can be delivered through the any channel enhancing value of EdTech platforms. Interactivity is the prime attraction for AR\/VR in EdTech and<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Artificial_intelligence\"> integration of AI<\/a> into the system can offer endless possibilities including behavior tracking. <a href=\"https:\/\/augray.com\/blog\/video-ar-enabled-campaign-movie-promotion\/\">Enabling AR<\/a> can make learning more accessible, convenient, and remote.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Today more than 90% of teens have access to smartphone<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as per Pew Research Centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deployment of AR does not require special equipment&#8217;s and students can easily access this <a href=\"https:\/\/augray.com\/blog\/live-augmented-reality\/\">technology<\/a> using smartphone<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edtech would witness the growing adoption and interest in AR\/VR as new-age learners are coming into the device with a curious and open mind. Learners using AR\/VR can fully understand and process information without much cognitive load. Using VR technology, virtual laboratories can be set up for students with minimal upfront investment.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the benefits, gaps exist in the AR\/VR adoption on the EdTech platform. The major hurdle is short of knowledge about AR\/VR in the education ecosystem. AR\/VR being a new technology demands acceptance from the students, parents, and teachers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Learning Ability Variation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Although marker-based procedural virtual learning can guide learners, not everybody can be receptive to it and proper training is required.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Lack of technical Knowledge:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> EdTech platforms should keep in mind about tech-illiterate population\/parents while launching <a href=\"https:\/\/augray.com\/blog\/augmented-reality-solutions-immersive-customer-experience\/\">AR\/VR services.<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Inadequate Content and Content Creation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most content available now is not deep enough.
