Despite its vast potential, higher education has yet to fully harness the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), extended reality (XR), and spatial computing. These technologies are poised to revolutionise our approach to knowledge, addressing challenges around student disengagement and rigid learning models – both of which pose as barriers to inclusion – by merging human intellect with advanced tech solutions. This integration enables learning that is not only interactive but also deeply personalised, adapting to individual voices, languages, gestures, and gazes. We are redefining what it means to learn and teach in an age where the convergence of our physical and digital worlds is offering us an entirely new set of tools from which to build solutions.
