Where physical and digital spaces mix

“Future Learning Spaces” – what will the teaching and learning spaces of tomorrow look like? How can innovative technologies such as 360°, augmented and virtual reality help to impart knowledge? The Goethe University Frankfurt, the TU Darmstadt and the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences are investigating these questions in the fuels joint project. The aim is to design “Future Learning Spaces” in which, depending on the scenario, physical and digital spaces and elements mix. To this end, innovative teaching and learning scenarios are developed using 360°, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies.

The vision: Study and teach in spaces that can be used collaboratively and distributedly, simultaneously and staggered, individually and collectively. For example, the physical space of a laboratory can be expanded to include information and learning content. Processes on site can be supported using assisted reality approaches. 360° environments enable flexible preparation and follow-up in the virtual equivalent of real space (e.g. on excursions, in workshops) and thus more efficient learning time on site.

In addition to the development of the rooms and scenarios, the project includes the joint development of qualification, advice and support offers for teachers and students from all disciplines - so that not only the learning spaces of the future are created, but people are also prepared to use them optimally to use.
