Mixed Reality in Education: Recent Developments and Future Trends

Mixed reality (MR) is an emerging technology which could potentially shape the future of education. A text mining method was applied to 3330 articles to classify them into six different topics. The classification reveals the trends relating to each topic and the relations between them. This paper focuses on recent developments in each topic area and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of using MR for education. Our objective is to help researchers focus on the research challenges where technological advancements in education MR are most needed.
