I’m interested in using VR/AR in lessons—what tools or applications are proven, cost‑effective, and really improve engagement?

In EdTech today, Virtual Reality (VR) is most practical for immersive simulations and virtual field trips, while Augmented Reality (AR) enhances textbooks and lab work with interactive overlays. Extended Reality (XR) combines both, enabling collaborative virtual classrooms and skill-based training, especially in STEM, healthcare, and vocational education environments.
