Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of four educational platforms that use virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies: TinkerCad, Delightex, MolecularWebXR, and ENGAGE. We based our evaluation on three main pillars: platform classification (VR or AR), core functionalities and services it offers, and user experience (UX) based on our practical engagement. After sharing our experience, we have provided a modern comparative XR-Ed framework in which we have given more details to the performance factors. A review of the contemporary literature highlights the role of inclusive technologies in increasing motivation, improving knowledge retention, and fostering active participation in both STEM and higher education. The findings show that each platform meets different educational needs: TinkerCad supports early STEM education through 3D modeling and electronics. The Delightex platform offers interactive AR/3D environments that foster creativity and personalized learning. MolecularWebXR uses VR for scientific visualizations, allowing students to explore complex molecular structures. While ENGAGE enables collaborative virtual classrooms and conferences, emphasizing social presence and active interaction. While the study confirms the great educational potential of these platforms, it also identifies challenges such as limited access, infrastructure requirements, and the need for pedagogical adaptation.
