CONNECT University and SG EU Policymaking Hub session on “Digital Learning”

Keynote on AR in Education

eXtended Reality including Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) provide exciting opportunities in the field of education and training, by making people’s learning experience much more interactive and immersive. In AR, real world objectives can be enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information. VR, on the other hand, have the advantage to provide individuals with the possibility for embodied experiences allowing them to see, hear and feel digital stimuli as if they were in the physical world, and thereby allowing access to experiences that rely on scarce or access-limited resources (e.g. flying to the moon) or access to experiences that are impossible to achieve in a physical way.
CONNECT University - the flagship of the EU Commission’s Directorate General on Communication Networks, Content and Technologies (DG Connect) is dedicated to exploring the Future of Digital and current policy work on all digital fields. It aims to inform about the latest digital trends and challenges which are highly linked with EU's relevant policies and serve as a platform for sharing knowledge through thematic discussions, workshops and seminar.
