Exploring the Benefits and Drawbacks of AR and VR Technologies for Learners of Mathematics: Recent Developments

Despite the growing interest in field, overall impact of augmented reality (AR) and virtual (VR) on mathematics learning remains unclear, with previous studies reporting mixed results. Moreover, to date, no systematic review has evaluated potential AR/VR education, including its benefits drawbacks for learners. To address this gap, present literature aims identify research trends, determine characteristics methodologies, explore technologies based existing empirical studies. In accordance PRISMA guidelines, we analyzed 59 peer-reviewed journal articles published English that focused implementation education. The determined geometry was most widely studied topic mathematics, several focusing use assist students disabilities. offers evidence consolidating learners’ socio-emotional, cognitive/meta-cognitive, pedagogical development learning. Nevertheless, a few issues, technological glitches, cost, start-up effort, health unfamiliarity AR/VR, pose challenges successful application classroom. This contributes body knowledge field recommends avenues future research.
