Emerging Technologies in Education Skill Development Through an Augmented and Virtual Reality Bootcamp under the Government of India’s FutureSkills Prime Initiative

Augmented and Virtual are rapidly transforming education by creating immersive, interactive, and experiential learning environments. AR overlays digital information onto the real world, helping students visualize complex concepts more clearly, while VR offers fully simulated spaces for rich, hands on experiences beyond traditional classrooms. As industry adoption grows, the skill gap between graduates and employer expectations has become more visible. To address this, universities are using project based and experiential learning models with external partners to build both technical and soft skills. In alignment national skilling initiatives such as the Government of Indias FutureSkills Prime, our AR VR bootcamp used such activities to improve students understanding of emerging technologies and career readiness. The study examined what skills students gained and what challenges arose when designing and implementing these bootcamp activities.
