Considering theater as one of the instructional methods adopted by the Egyptian Ministry of Education in the school curricula, and as an accredited school activity within a group of other educational activities. The introduction provides an overview of holographic technology and predicts its future in student learning. It further outlines educational activities that have become heavily dependent on technology in training and application, with the simplistic definition of 3D technology and 3D imaging explained. The literature review presents publications in hologram technology and related publications, explaining the different concepts of holographic, virtual, and augmented reality. The applicability of these concepts is elucidated, especially in theater activity as an educational tool in schools and educational institutions. Besides, the research focuses on the educational theater in Egypt, and the use of technology as a supportive means of achieving the goals of educational activities that may apply to exceptional capabilities and requirements. Modern technology using hologram may provide solutions to basic requirements for the stage, lighting arts, decoration, and theatrical illusions to achieve the goals of theatrical performances for educational purposes. The study used a sample size of 400 individuals represented as those responsible for performing theater activity in several schools in four different governorates in Egypt. The study results showed the impact of holographic technology in Egyptian school theaters and future challenges that may hinder the implementation of holographic technology in educational theatres, making references to previous studies on the topic. In its conclusions, the study addressed the funding gap and other challenges facing the implementation of hologram technology in educational theaters in Egypt622202062220203144https://www.naun.org/main/NAUN/educationinformation/2020/a102008-005(2020).pdf10.46300/9109.2020.14.5https://www.naun.org/main/NAUN/educationinformation/2020/a102008-005(2020).pdfKhooshabeh, P., & Hegarty, M, "How visual informationaffects a spatial task", in Proceedings of the AnnualMeeting of the Cognitive Science Society, vol.36, no.1,2020, pp. 2041-2046.Plantenberg, K, Engineering graphics essentials withAutoCAD® 2014 instruction.
