Abstract
Traditional online communications tools used in education are limited in terms of fostering naturalistic or life-like interaction. Such limited interactions in classrooms can negatively impact learning. Holograms are promising tools that show potential to overcome such limitations by affording more life-like interactions in virtual classrooms. In this paper, we introduce the prototype built within the context of the project,”HoloLearn”, which is currently ongoing and aims to foster lifelike interactions between teachers and students. Furthermore, we discuss the limitations of the current prototype and also the steps that need to be undertaken in the future.
