Immersive technologies that change the modern education system and influence the progressive modernization of education in Ukraine

It is essential to start by saying that the progress of modern education has been significantly affected by COVID-19. A virus changed the lives of each of us and introduced its reform into the international education system, accustoming us to a new form of distance learning. Integrations with major LMS have become standard practice, and words like ZOOM and Google Meet have entered the student vocabulary. The main advantage of this training format is its accessibility. You can study anywhere and discover any material that interests you but you must have steady self-discipline to master a new knowledge base. If we talk about the disadvantages of this format, the main one is the lack of offline communication, which is especially important for better "immersion" in the educational process, active teamwork, and raising the emotional background of each individual, which is so essential for its complete formation.  It is also important to note that we live in a very dynamic world that needs new solutions to everyday human needs. Therefore, the involvement of the latest technologies is one of the priority tools for the modernization of education. Let's look at how AR/3D technologies help to develop the century-old education system using the Ukrainian online application AR_Book.

AR_Book is a technological solution for an educational organization for schools, including the work of teachers and students. The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine recommend the system. The startup was born at the beginning of the brutal full-scale invasion of russia on the territory of the independent state of Ukraine in 2022. The primary mission is to make education available and interactive, especially at these dark times in the country where many kids can't attend school because it might be hazardous.

3D and AR (augmented reality) formats for creating models and images are gaining tremendous popularity over the past five years. The unique offer of the AR_Book system is its complete functionality with the involvement of the latest AR/3D technologies. The application has six main sections for school subjects now: physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology, mathematics, and geography. Chapters contain experiments that illustrate lesson topics in 3D/AR formats. Each experiment is a set of three-dimensional models of devices, instruments, natural objects, or creatures that can be interacted with. The content of the application consists of more than 200 authors' experiments, integration with large systems, 2000 tests for various subjects, 30 functions for the lesson designer, and many other advantages that are aimed at interest, helping to work through new educational material effectively. All this will be supplemented by an analytical report on the subjects responsible for the indicators of interest of each student in the near future.  Also, the application contains additional "Encyclopedia" sections, where children can look at three-dimensional models of animals and dinosaurs. The app is available on Google Play and App Store.

   From all of the above, we can confidently say that the AR_Book system meets all modern standards that ensure the dynamic modernization of international education. The project has a charitable mission for Ukraine. But we plan to enter the US market in the future because this product not only interactively fills educational material but also effectively affects the work of a schoolchild, which is necessary for every child today.
