Abstract. The innovative zSpace technology allows students to learn through holographic content and simulation experiments using Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR). zSpace combines hardware, software, and learning content focused on various STEM disciplines. zSpace features a combination of VR/AR and 3D interactivity. The main advantages of the technology lie in three main aspects: the way of assimilation of knowledge, acceptance of information, and application in practice. The use of zSpace leads to some significant improvements in knowledge acquisition: it activates several sensory functions, resulting in higher levels of engaging learning experience; achieves a high level of realism, which guarantees the memorization and more effective learning of the learning content; motivates students; improves achievement in science, math, career, and technical education.
