- Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are transforming education by revolutionizing content delivery and management across various education disciplines. This systematic review paper enlightens the recent surge in VR/AR adoption, driven by advancements in immersive technology, and its impact on multiple educational levels. Nevertheless, VR/AR technology has diverse applied areas, this paper primarily focuses on the utility of VR/AR-based applications in engineering, medical, and natural sciences education. In engineering education, AR facilitates the comprehension of complex concepts, while VR platforms provide immersive learning environments for manufacturing processes. Likewise, VR simulations have emerged in medical education, offering realistic practice scenarios for medical students. AR in natural sciences helps in visualizing abstract concepts and supports interactive learning. Therefore, in this review article, the main goal is to comprehend the recent advancements in the applied areas of VR/AR technology particularly within STEM fields. This review provides essential insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers aiming to leverage the transformative potential of VR/AR technologies.
