The Potential of Extended Reality (XR) technology in STEM Education
The educational landscape is on the cusp of a transformation, with extended reality (XR) – encompassing virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) – leading the charge. XR promises to revolutionize STEM education by providing immersive experiences that enhance learning and retention. Studies show that XR can increase student engagement by up to 77%. This engagement is a critical component in improving learning outcomes and equipping students with the skills needed for success in STEM fields
In addition, the global XR in education market is rapidly expanding, with forecasts predicting a compound annual growth rate of over 30.7% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is driven by the need to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills, making XR an invaluable tool in preparing students for the evolving demands of the STEM industry.
1. Interactive and Immersive Learning Experiences:
At Illumia Labs, we understand the power of XR in education. Our solutions, such as Illumia ENGAGE and Illumia ACTION,
offer immersive environments where students can interact with AI avatars and engage in simulations that replicate real-life challenges.
2. Customizable Virtual Environments for Enhanced Training:
With AI-driven solutions like the Illumia PLATFORM BUILDER, educators can tailor virtual spaces to their
curriculum, creating diverse scenarios that reflect real-world STEM applications. This customization ensures that the training is relevant and impactful.
3. Making STEM Education Accessible:
Our XR technology is not just about innovative learning; it’s about making education accessible. We bring high-quality STEM training to
remote and under-resourced areas, democratizing education and opening up new opportunities for all students.
Illumia Proudly Hosted Aviation and Aerospace (AAiM) Week 2024
In collaboration with Manitoba Aerospace and with proud sponsorship from Babcock, Illumia Labs recently hosted the third annual Aviation and Aerospace in Manitoba (AAiM) Week. This event showcased our commitment to integrating XR into STEM education, highlighting the practical and exciting applications of these technologies.
By participating in AAiM Week, educators and students experienced first-hand the benefits of XR in learning and training.
