Abstract

Education is an important driving force for sustainable social development. Emerging technologies such as extended reality (XR), including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR), have been widely used. Recently, a large number of theoretical and empirical studies on the use of XR in the field of education for sustainable development have emerged. This paper uses bibliometric analysis to analyze the publication and citation trends of articles, prolific authors, institutions and countries, influential works, current topics, emerging trends, and knowledge structure to explore the overall productivity and XR research trends in the field of education for the period 1991–2021. Future development directions are also considered. On the basis of bibliometric analysis, this paper puts forward suggestions for the application of XR in the field of education for sustainable development.
