The rise of immersive learning

In the Future of Work survey conducted by the World Economic Forum, almost 60% of companies surveyed indicated the likelihood of adopting immersive technology by 2022. Looking at the number of launches in the immersive technology space in the first six months of 2019, it is not difficult to understand the hyper-optimism in immersive learning. Perhaps, arguably the most exciting new development is the launch of Microsoft's Hololens 2. Purportedly to be a quantum leap from its first iteration, Hololens 1, Microsoft is positioning this new device for industrial training and institutional learning.
