The Top Immersive Education Trends to Watch in 2024
- Immersive education is transforming the future of learning and development experiences for everyday employees resulting in a number of trends emerging in the immersive education sector.
- Immersive education wearables are evolving from investing in separate devices for virtual and augmented training experiences to multi-modal devices that allow users to control their level of immersion throughout different training initiatives.
- Spatial computing development addresses the issue of overly controller-centric immersive experience. Evolutions in spatial computing technology offer employees a more natural way to interact with content through gesture, eye, and hand-tracking algorithms.
- Flexible platforms, such as metaverse as a service solutions and no-code low-code platforms, give companies more control over their training resources by allowing them to combine pre-built blocks, components, and extended reality (XR) features with custom-made content for a unique learning experience.
- AI is significantly impacting immersive education, as it allows headsets and software to leverage natural language processing and computer vision for enhanced spatial experiences and improved user experiences.
- Companies are now looking for network opportunities as innovative XR technologies rely on robust network connectivity to minimize lag and latency issues. Some companies even offer cloud-based solutions to host and stream content on behalf of their customers.
- Focus is now on innovation with spatial computing, customized learning, and more lightweight headsets to minimize VR sickness, leading to the evolution of a new future for education.

Using Zoom on Apple Vision Pro Headsets: The Pros and Cons
- Zoom Apple Vision Pro app allows for seamless spatial computing and video conferencing for meetings. The app seamlessly blends video conferencing capabilities with physical space, providing an immersive meeting experience. Zoom has worked with Apple in the past and has created apps such as Zoom CarPlay and Zoom for Apple TV. The three main features of the app are Personas, Spatial video, and 3D Object Sharing. The Apple Vision Pro is slowly starting to become more appealing to organizations. The experience of the app is impressive, especially when it comes to collaboration. Zoom's Apple Vision Pro experience will continuously upgrade with new capabilities. Real World Pinning helps to optimize hybrid work. The virtual avatars created by Apple's Persona are still problematic and need to improve quickly.
- While users can expect a unique and immersive meeting experience in the metaverse with Zoom, the app is still mostly in beta, and beyond a few core features, most features are still not available on the Apple Vision Pro headset. Users will need a Zoom account and an Apple Vision Pro headset to use the app. The app's Persona feature is the biggest issue that has been widely criticized, as it does not seem to capture a user's appearance perfectly.
