Resumen

La educación contemporánea enfrenta un cambio significativo con la incorporación de tecnologías inmersivas como la realidad virtual y aumentada, las cuales transforman la manera en que los estudiantes interactúan con el conocimiento. En Ecuador, estas tecnologías ofrecen un potencial particular para superar barreras educativas, especialmente en áreas donde los recursos son limitados. Este análisis crítico aborda los avances en el desarrollo de hardware y software, así como sus aplicaciones prácticas en disciplinas como ciencias, matemáticas y educación inclusiva. El problema central identificado radica en la brecha tecnológica que dificulta la adopción generalizada de estas herramientas. Factores como los costos elevados, la conectividad limitada y la falta de formación docente representan obstáculos significativos. A pesar de estas limitaciones, las tecnologías inmersivas han demostrado mejorar la motivación y el compromiso estudiantil, además de facilitar el aprendizaje de conceptos complejos. Los resultados analizados destacan casos de éxito donde estas tecnologías fueron integradas efectivamente en entornos educativos y terapéuticos. Estas herramientas no solo han permitido la visualización de fenómenos complejos, sino que también han promovido la inclusión educativa y la rehabilitación cognitiva. Se concluye que, para maximizar su impacto, es necesario superar desafíos relacionados con la infraestructura y capacitación docente. Solo un enfoque integral garantizará la accesibilidad y sostenibilidad de estas tecnologías en la educación ecuatoriana y global.
