OPPORTUNITIES FOR USING VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY TECHNOLOGIES IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

In the context of the widespread use of digital technologies, the issue of using a variety of modern information and technical devices in the educational process, including the use of virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) in higher education, especially in the training of pedagogical personnel, has become relevant. The objective of the article is to explore the potential of VR/AR for creating a more visual, informative, and motivating educational experience. The article provides a definition of VR/AR, describes various types and applications of these technologies, and analyzes the experience of implementing them in the educational process. It also identifies the specific features of virtual and augmented reality technologies. Examples of their use are provided. Research methods include an analysis of scientific literature on the problem of scientific research, a survey. The potential of VR/AR for increasing the visibility, informativeness and motivation of students is analyzed, as well as the factors influencing their introduction into the educational process. The study includes an overview of existing practices, trends, and prospects for the development of VR/AR in education, as well as identifying constraints.
