The human brain is comprised of at least three distinctive learning centers: cognitive skills system, behavioral skills system, and emotional system.
AR and VR technology positively impacts all three learning systems:
(1) Removes the need for the brain to construct a 3-dimensional dynamic mental representation from 2-dimensional images to reduce cognitive load and engage visual representation areas in the brain,
(2) Optimizes behavioral learning through real-time interaction and corrective feedback,
(3) Engages emotions to improve situational awareness and strongly affect both cognitive and behavioral skills learning.
