A definition of VR
A three-dimensional, computer generated environment which can be explored and interacted with by a person. That person becomes part of this virtual world or is immersed within this environment and while there, is able to manipulate objects or perform a series of actions.�

XR
Definitions of AR
The real-time use of information in the form of text, graphics, audio and other virtual enhancements integrated with real-world objects. It is this “real world” element that differentiates AR from virtual reality. �From https://www.gartner.com/it-glossary/augmented-reality-ar/
..can be described as experiencing the real world with an overlay of additional computer generated content. �From 7 Things...Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Mixed Reality https://library.educause.edu/-/media/files/library/2017/10/eli7149.pdf

Mixed Reality

Do you see the utility of MR in your work or at your institution?
XR
Definition of MR
Milgram and Kishino define Mixed Reality as “..a particular subclass of VR related technologies that involve the merging of real and virtual worlds.” More specifically, they say that MR involves the blending of real and virtual worlds somewhere along the “reality-virtuality continuum” (RV) which connects completely real environments to completely virtual ones.
XR
360 Video
Immersive or spherical video that enables the viewer to experience in all directions.
360 degree video is not XR by itself, but it is needed to create some VR experiences.

“Previously, our pedagogical vision was outpacing the technological capacity; I think the technology has not only caught up, but surpassed our pedagogical vision. We're going to need to play catch up.”
Two guiding questions: “What educational activities lend themselves to the use of 3D technologies? And what are the most effective 3D technologies for various learning goals?”
