#286: Micro- and Macrocosms in Accessible Reality: VR/AR Glasses as Partners in Learning

This work presents a visual narrative of immersive learning through affordable smartphone-based VR/AR technology. The photographs capture a student exploring two scientific domains: the vast scale of the solar system and the microscopic structure of molecules. Using simple VR glasses and a smartphone, the learner navigates planetary space and constructs molecular models atom by atom. The images highlight moments of curiosity, concentration, and discovery, emphasizing the human experience within digital environments. By focusing on accessible tools rather than expensive laboratory equipment, the work invites viewers to reflect on how emerging technologies can democratize science education. The series connects artistic documentation with learning sciences perspectives such as embodied learning and situated cognition, illustrating how physical interaction with digital worlds can deepen understanding of abstract scientific concepts.
