Abstract
This chapter presents a conceptual discussion on the roles of immersive technology relating to its past, present, and future. The underlying theories and assumptions pertinent to each stage of immersive technology are discussed by emphasizing the influences on pedagogical practices and assessment. An important focus of the chapter is to look at the function of present immersive technology in learning from the perspective of a technology taxonomy. Discussions on future immersive technologies are made by making a connection between immersive technology and other new technologies like artificial intelligence. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research in immersive technology.
