Description
My research focuses on exploring new possibilities and approaches to education which are emerging alongside extended reality technologies. I want to gather and compare efficacy data, then take this knowledge to inform the creation of educational platforms which utilizes these emerging technologies.
My hypothesis is that by leveraging extended reality and the power of the internet, education can be more effective, affordable and accessible.
In today’s world, university is a financial and geographical luxury that only few can afford. Many brilliant and capable individuals do not have access to this resource. With the internet now covering most of the populated world, and extended reality emerging, we have an opportunity to develop a new education infrastructure that matches our emerging technological capabilities.
