What is Head Mount Display (HMD)

This chapter covers research surrounding augmented and virtual realities as types of mobile technologies for teaching and learning. The efficacy of these technologies as mobile learning tools will be presented and how these technologies might be used to enhance or even create contemporary classrooms such as virtual operating theatres and virtual tours while on-the-go. The chapter will also present some conclusions that can be drawn from various augmented and virtual realities research using Google Glass and Google Cardboard as well as challenges and concerns in terms of privacy and detachment from physical reality. Finally, this chapter presents examples of how Google Glass Explorers use AR devices to deconstruct traditional segmented classrooms and reconstruct modern-day learning communities where teaching, learning, collaborating, and sharing become integrated.
