Abstract

Mixed reality is a technology that combines virtual and augmented reality. Mixed reality provides students with the opportunity to engage in direct treatment within various practical processes. The use of mixed reality is often implemented in courses that are abstract in nature, require expensive equipment and materials, or involve dangerous practicum activities. This research is a literature study using a systematic literature review to provide an overview of the use of mixed reality in learning. The sample used consisted of Scopus articles in the last 20 years from various branches of science from various countries. Data were analyzed quantitatively and descriptively. The research results showed that 16 articles using mixed reality were relevant to the research objectives. The study notes that the application of mixed reality has been conducted in several fields, most frequently in the medical field. The use of mixed reality can enhance scientific attitudes, cognitive abilities, performance, and more.
