Critical literacy and migration research in the age of Extended Reality

The study “Extended Reality Technology and Recipients Research in Migration Studies” is designed to explore whether Extended Reality technologies (XR) can be used to address and raise awareness about social issues, as well as to gain insights into conditions that are crucial for developing critical thinking. The main question that guided this study was whether Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have the potential to support  the critical understanding and reading of social phenomena. This article presents how XR technology (360-degree video and AR application) have been used to identify forms of articulation concerning refugee flight and migration. Based on a Latent-Class Analysis, we describe four types of articulation, using typical text features and examples.
