Immersive technologies are revolutionising education.

The potential of XR in education is vast, making it suitable for all types of schools. Virtual internships, for instance, offer students their first glimpse into, for example, day-to-day life in healthcare and support early career orientation. When it comes to the sciences, XR enables students to interactively explore biological processes or observe the solar system up close, and chemical and physical experiments that would be too expensive or dangerous in real life can be safely conducted in virtual environments. Whether it’s ordering a croissant in a French café, exploring Anne Frank’s hiding place, or making music in a virtual space, immersive learning environments bring knowledge to life and foster creativity.

XR applications enhance intrinsic motivation by immersing learners in realistic scenarios and making learning both enjoyable and meaningful. Three-dimensional representations—such as a lifelike beating heart—can be explored from every angle, helping to visualise complex concepts and make them easier to grasp and allowing learners to progress at their own pace. XR can also be tailored to accommodate physical and sensory needs—for example, through sign language integration or tactile feedback. This opens up new possibilities for inclusion, from overcoming language barriers to enabling the free exploration of different countries and cultures.

Bechtle offers tailored XR learning environments.

For an immersive experience, all components—tablets, AR and VR headsets, and the corresponding applications—must be perfectly coordinated with each other and Bechtle ensures seamless integration between equipment and comprehensive service. Educational institutions can choose from a wide portfolio of offerings from various manufacturers and certified partners, all of whom meet the highest security standards. Our services include in-depth consultation, including application examples, and—depending on your needs—implementation, customised training, device management, managed services, and ongoing support.

Extended reality applications are a valuable addition to any classroom and do not replace proven teaching methods or the personal interaction between teachers and pupils. Immersive technologies enrich learning by offering practical, inclusive experiences that help prepare learners for life and the world of work.
