The NABA research project "ARS Augmented Reality Multi-User Virtual Spaces / The Virtual Production and the Future of Learning," initiated in March 2022 and developed in collaboration with SAE Institute Belgrade, is reaching its final stage. Created within the framework of Partnerships in vocational education and training, supported by the Erasmus+ programme, it stems from the need, intensified by recent events, to develop new and effective forms of remote collaboration both professionally and educationally. Indeed, it investigates and experiments with the potential of Virtual Production through the hybridisation of physical and digital elements, serving distant learning paths based on the didactic methodology of "learning by doing". At the end of the journey, the Augmented Reality (AR) devices used in classroom, along with a manual on the usage processes for the university training, will be integrated into the curricula of the Media Design and New Technologies Area of the Academy.
