The literature analysis for the development of this segment seeks to mainly highlight
certain essential points in the application of mixed reality in the higher education department.
Further, the analysis also highlighted certain core literature reviews conducted within the past
three years by various researchers to offer an extensive insight of the conducted researches
and the gaps that the research sought to fill within this analysis. The studies based on the
aspect of technology have been conducted mainly to illustrate the particularities involved in
the design and development of the features of mixed reality application, and the presently
accessible platforms and tools that can be used to ensure the application of such reality in
education. Yu et al. (2019) presented an analysis on the prevailing platforms that are designed
to enable the application of mixed reality. On the other hand, Wu et al. (2019) conducted
analysis by comparing the existing platforms used in the development of mobile mixed
reality strategies and based their analysis on the developed resources of mixed reality that
such strategies provide for the construction of the educational resolutions mainly based on the
mobile devices.
Another research conducted by Murugan, Balaji and Rajkumar (2019) surmised that the
mixed reality platforms in the educational procedures is the most current that are updated by
both the developer and user in a cooperative manner and enables for a particular perception
of the tools applied. Wish-Baratz et al. (2020) in their research addressed the concept of
maintainability in relation to the mixed reality aspects and attributes, mainly identifying and
describing the discrepancy of the integration between the soft and hardware, and the mixed
reality resolutions. Moreover, from the educational viewpoint, numerous researches have
explored initiatives via various literature reviews. For instance, Gerup, Soerensen, and
Dieckmann (2020) assessed the application of the mixed and augmented realities in healthcare
particularly in the surgical training. Although the augment and mixed reality strategies designed did
not possess a clear pedagogical structure, it involved the application of both mixed and augmented
realities in teaching and training the healthcare students. The study also evaluated the visions for the
future and chances for the future studies within the augmented and mixed reality application for
educational settings. Kounlaxay and Kim (2020) in their research described the results of their review
that the particular direction of the mixed reality strategies would potentially result in some advantages
including the increase in students’ motivation to learn. The study by Al Janabi et al. (2020) further
supported the findings by Kounlaxay and Kim, and highlighted that the mixed reality approaches
would facilitate a better learning performance among the students, since the most identified
challenges by most of the researchers is focused on the difficulty for the learners to effectively use
this form of application in its optimal form to facilitate learning activities.
