Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are areas of emerging technology that dental educators are using to engage students and enhance collaborative learning in the classroom. VR/AR can provide advanced visualization and action-based learning in an immersive environment that is intuitive and student-centered. Educators should be aware of concepts, applications, modalities, and limitations for VR/AR use in dental education. Participants will learn about VR and AR, examine how VR/AR can impact dental education and experience VR and AR first-hand. Participants will also brainstorm on ways to incorporate AR and VR in the classroom.
