Education
In a fast evolving world, the number of concepts that students need to be aware of has enormously widened. Students need a more visual method of learning to be able to better grasp complex concepts. Also, subjects like engineering, medicine and architecture (to name a few) could greatly take advantage of mixed reality.
Param Labs has envisaged an app that could present relevant 3D manipulable / 360ᵒ content for the students to view and learn from.
Example / Use Cases
Watch videos and view 3D models
Go beyond the textbook, with the textbook. (demonstrations of experiments, buildings and historical sites)
Virtual Trainings and classrooms
Visit places in Virtual Reality and learn about them
360 degree recorded educational videos
Interactable
The ability to manipulate the content, (esp. 3D models) and develop understanding in a circumspect manner.
Advantage – Institutes:
- Provide Learning of the future – By adopting state-of-the-art technologies like AR and VR, you can be regarded as a place of learning that remains updated and students and parents alike will be encouraged to become a part of your endeavour.
- Better Learning Outcomes – As your students learn in one of the best ways to boost learning and grasping, they possess a superior understanding of concepts and their future successes will only make your alumni base, your legacy more impressive.
- Procedural Knowledge – Encourage the right kind of learning, instead of declarative knowledge.
Advantage – Students:
- Effective Learning – The written or spoken word has 10-20% retention after 3 days, the retention levels for visual learning stands at an impressive 65%, hence by learning through these tools, students fare better as far as being involved with their curriculum is concerned.
- Engaging Activity – With this technology, the process of learning has become more engaging, and the students will experience a higher degree of involvement.
- Interest Levels – Since this is visual and novel, students will be easily attracted to this modified curriculum, resulting in higher interest levels and happier teaching-learning process.
