Nursing students ’ experience of using HoloPatient during the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative descriptive study

Mixed reality (MR) is currently used in various educational and clinical settings (Kim, Choi,& Kim, 2021), and its importance is increasing given changes in the educational environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike virtual reality (VR), which creates a simulated environment that is not real, MR synthesizes virtual objectives or information with the real world, allowing users to experience a blended reality through devices such as HoloLens (Kaplan et al., 2021). MR differs from augmented reality (AR) as it creates a more immersive experience by combining elements of the artificial and real environment into an augmented version of reality with which users can interact (Mendez et al., 2020).
