AI, augmented and virtual reality in education industry

Imagine if you could take your 5 years old kid around 250 million years back in time to the dinosaur era and let the child explore everything on its own. And what if these giant creatures could introduce themselves, tell the story about their existence and talk to your child? What if a high school student could go back in time to meet his or her favourite scientist, let’s say Einstein, and ask him any question? Would it not be amazing to have all the books of the all the libraries at your beck and call at any moment? How about instantly seeing your recently found genius friends from across the globe to discuss your favourite study material as and when you wish?

If you think these possibilities are far-fetched then think again! Go on reading till the end. Artificial intelligence is everywhere and every industry is cashing on it to optimize their businesses, improve efficiency and productivity by minimizing human effort and error, thus maximizing profitability. Education industry is no exception to it.

How is education industry benefitting from AI? There are various aspects of this system that have leveraged the power of AI to make the education process seamless. Let’s look at some of the significant ones.

  1. Letting AI enabled applications handle the admin work, erstwhile done by teachers and professors, such as preparing progress reports, marking attendance, evaluating internal/external papers and similar paper works that could easily be handled by these apps. Therefore, it saves a lot of time for other important activities, especially giving more time to students in need.
  2. Using AI to prepare a personalised course program based on the level of every student. There is no denial that some students are simply genius and there are others who are quite slow in grasping a subject. AI enabled software and applications can help each student go with their own pace and yet get the proper understanding of the subject.
  3. Using AI enabled services to make education available on smart phones, laptops, tablets, etc. for a student to either connect with the program coordinator/peer/teachers or to access course material.
  4. Using AI to conduct assessment of students through various permutation/combination of questions to create a customized question paper for each individual student without compromising on fairness and integrity of examination process.

The above list is just indicative.

 

Educational Metaverse for all

However, the real fun begins when the world education system unites to form an AI enabled metaverse that contains all the information, books, lectures, seminars, workshops, lab experiments, the great teachers from the past from almost every university, college and any other education system. All this using AI enabled augmented and virtual realities. One metaverse for all!

Imagine this beautiful metaverse that allows not only to meet the contemporary geniuses but also the ones from the past. It not only allows to see and experience the world of today, but also of the past, possibly, from the time the big bang happened. In this metaverse one can interact with anyone who has ever existed in the history of mankind. With the virtual and augmented reality backed by AI, one can make even animals, inanimate objects, in fact everything in this universe speak to us and tell us their amazing stories. And all this while sitting in the comfort of your house. How about that!

Metaverse needs better technology, scalable infra, strong governance

Many minds have been intrigued by the idea of metaverse, and its effect is such that the social media giant like Facebook has been rebranded as Meta. Yet, there is a big question mark on the future of this technology. The enablers of metaverse such as augmented reality, mixed reality and virtual reality operating on computers, smartphones and other devices have failed to give the complete real-world like immersive experience to end users. There is a clear lack of standard virtual environment and technical specifications for implementing metaverse  –  a bottleneck in using technologies from different proprietors. Due to the business privacy and transparency concerns, interoperability of services from various providers has become a big challenge. Although, the efforts to standardize virtual reality, such as Universal Scene Description, glTF and OpenXR may help in a long run, but a lot more needs to be put in.  The technologies and devices, such as wireless he...
