Interactive and immersive media for environmental education in India

Abstract
Environmental degradation is one of the more significant global issues, and public education about the possibility of environmental sustainability has become indispensable. For decades, school curricula have been utilized as a means of providing environmental education for children in India, but traditional methods have occasionally failed to bring students and their communities onto a more imaginative plane. Interactive and immersive media such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) can make the process of learning really interesting and experiential in the context of environmental education in India. The immersion media's unique advantage in an educational application will strengthen this in-depth understanding of environmental issues on the part of the learners. The paper discusses the current application of immersive technologies in environmental education across the world, analyzes their application in the Indian context, and opens up challenges and opportunities, specially focusing on Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality and its application in environmental education in India. It considers the role of media as an intervening tool for environmental education, the psychological influence of immersion of media on learners, and how interactive tools can be used to foster behavior change.
