A Problem-Driven Approach to XR in Education: Teaching Non-Euclidean Geometries Through Virtual Reality
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Immersive technologies are increasingly used in education, offering unique benefits in fields like mathematics that require spatial understanding. These tools enable learners to interact with virtual environments, providing hands-on experiences that enhance comprehension and retention of abstract concepts. This is particularly valuable in areas like non-Euclidean geometries, which are difficult to visualize using traditional methods. This paper explores our research on using virtual reality to teach non-Euclidean geometries, highlighting both the benefits and challenges.
