The potentials and trends of holography in education: A scoping review

The advancement of digital hologram technology has conceded exciting possibilities in the educational sector pushing the temporal and spatial boundaries with enhanced virtual presence and interactions. The application and adaptation of the technology have started off in the classrooms mainly in medical education, science, and engineering education in the higher education sites. With this, the studies on the use of holograms and their educational effects have been also on an increase. This scoping review examines the literature in the past decade and provides a comprehensive overview of the research on using holography in educational sites. The results show that although the number of studies on the use of holography is on the rise in recent five years, studies on educational effects are limited to small age groups, subjects, and the effectiveness constructs that measure learning outcomes are still scattered. This review contributes to the bibliometric and thematic mapping of literature and the identification of gaps for future research.
