Authors - Dipti Varpe, Kalyani Kulkarni, Vaidehi Deshpande, Vedaant Deshpande, Vaishnavi Habbu Abstract - Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) enhance traditional pedagogical methods by providing immersive, interactive and experiential learning environments, while catering to diverse learning styles. The paper examines their effectiveness in improving knowledge retention, fostering engagement, and enabling hands-on practice in simulated real-world scenarios, citing comparisons with traditional teaching tools. In education, AR and VR allow visualization of abstract concepts, collaborative virtual environments and gamified learning experiences that make complex subjects accessible and engaging. For training purposes, these technologies are instrumental in safe skill acquisition, particularly in high-risk fields such as healthcare and military operations. Challenges such as high costs of facility maintenance and safe implementation are also addressed. This review concludes with recommendations for leveraging this technology to create impactful and scalable solutions for learners and trainees in various disciplines.
