The earliest use cases of Mixed Reality can be found in education and training and this is no surprise and the premise of immersive technologies is essentially to expose the user to artificial, yet realistic scenarios that can prepare the students for the tasks in real life. The conventional audio/visual learning aids, that have been used since the dawn of personal computers are no longer effective and as the world is moving from information (in form of books) to explanation (videos, images) to experience (immersive training), the adoption of mixed reality is inevitable. Today we can see MR being used in kindergartens to highly sophisticated International space station trainings and with rapid penetration of smart phone and HMD (head mounted displays), MR is changing the education space in a positively disruptive way. Today MR is taking a child underwater to explore deep oceans, helping train a factory worker in case of fire, assisting an engineer learn how to operate a complex equipment and helping a medical student to learn human anatomy in a way never perceived possible before
