Application of VR and AR Technologies in Educational Process

Abstract

Education system is constantly developing and now people can use new AR and VR technologies to improve their learning process. Augmented reality, abbreviated AR, is a combination of the real world and additional data "entered" in the area that the user sees. VR is generally defined as an interactive computer simulation.They have many advantages and can be used both for training in simulators through special VR devices and for designing something new. There are many platforms for developing augmented reality: 8th Wall, ARToolKit X, VUFORIA, ARCore, Unreal Engine. The list of all possible platforms is still incomplete, because the list is growing every year. T-FLEX is a Russian computer-aided design system. It includes CAD/CAM/CAE/CAPP/PDM /CRM/PM/MDM systems. T-FLEX CAD has all the necessary modules that are not available in other systems. For example, the T-FLEX VR module can contribute to product development at all stages of creation. This technology allows studenys to take a different look at the details and entire design process.
