Abstract
The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed
Reality (MR) technologies in education presents new opportunities
for immersive and interactive learning. This paper
reviews recent applications of VR/MR in educational contexts,
emphasizing their impact on student engagement, cognitive
development, and knowledge retention. The analysis highlights
key benefits such as enhanced motivation, improved practical
skills, and effective visualization of abstract content, while also
acknowledging limitations including cognitive load and motion
sickness. In addition to the literature review, the grounds of an
experimental study are presented.
