Abstract

Immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR) and Extended Reality (XR) have the potential to change the ILRCs ecosystem in a big way. These technologies connect the digital and the physical world and make it possible for ILRCs to provide engaging, interactive, and tailored learning experiences. In this paper, the authors discuss how ILRCs are becoming places where innovations, inclusivity, and engagement are visible and how these technologies have the potential to improve educational services, engage the community, and increase access to resources despite the challenges that include high costs and limited access. Also, a SWOT analysis is given to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of immersive technologies in the ILRCs context. Some directions for future research are also given to focus upon. This paper presents a conceptual framework within which ILRCs can plan the integration of immersive technologies in the transformation of information access and learning in the future.
