🕶️ AI Literacy Activity: Stepping Into the Future with AR/VR

Part 1: Context and Alignment

For centuries, India has been a land of immersive learning — from the gurukul system to storytelling through temples, paintings, and theatre. Today, that spirit continues in a new form: Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).

AR/VR allows us to step inside knowledge itself:
✨ Walking through a solar system in 3D.
✨ Standing inside a historical monument.
✨ Practicing management decisions in a simulated boardroom.

🌍 The National Education Policy (NEP 2020) calls for experiential, technology-enabled learning. The Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) tradition shows us that deep learning is never abstract — it is lived, felt, and embodied.

Through this introduction, students experience how AR/VR connects imagination with application, showing the future of AI-enabled education.

Part 2: How to Conduct the Activity (Guide for Activity Facilitator)

Dear Facilitator,

This is an exploration session. The goal is not mastery, but wonder — letting participants feel what it means to enter knowledge itself.

1. Introduce the Theme 🌐
   • Write on the board: “From Reading → Seeing → Experiencing.”
   • Say: “Today, we take our first steps into AR/VR — where knowledge surrounds us.”
2. Demonstrate AR on Phones 📱
   • Ask participants to search for “AR Solar System” or “3D Human Heart AR” on their phones (Google AR models or similar free apps).
   • Let them rotate, zoom, and place these models in the classroom.
3. Show a VR Clip or Simulation 🕶️
   • If headsets are available, rotate small groups through a 2–3 minute demo (e.g., virtual tour of the Taj Mahal or a leadership simulation).
   • If no headsets, use YouTube 360° videos — students can scroll around the scene on their phones.
4. Prompt Exploration with AI Context 🌿
   • Example prompts:
     • “How can AR help MBA students understand strategy and decision-making?”
     • “How can VR bring rural students closer to experiences they cannot access in real life?”
5. Group Reflection 🌸
   • Ask: “How did this feel different from just reading or watching a video?”
   • “Where could you apply this in your studies, projects, or career?”
6. Closing the Activity 🌼
   • Share: “Immersive learning has always been part of India’s tradition. AR/VR is the modern extension — making knowledge alive and accessible for all.”
7. Feedback Form ✍️
   • Ask: “What is one subject you would like to explore in AR/VR in the future?”
