Anna Carolina Muller Queiroz, Romero Tori, Alexandre Nascimento, Maria Isabel da Silva Leme · 2018
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies have become quite popular and affordable. Given their potential as teaching tools, their increasing introduction into both traditional and virtual classrooms is natural. The mapping of Brazilian research groups that investigate VR, AR and Education can contribute to the identification of gaps, overlaps and opportunities as well as aid pedagogical and public policy planning. This article presents a study that analyzes CNPq Research Group's Directory with a focus on VR and AR lines of research that also involve education as theme. Evidences that inspire future works are identified.
