This study analyzes the accessibility of Augmented Virtual Reality (AVR) in higher education through a qualitative systematic review of 50 articles published between 2020 and 2024. The objective is to identify effective strategies to improve AVR implementation, as well as associated challenges and benefits. The methodology included an exhaustive search in academic databases, followed by a qualitative analysis of the selected studies, using thematic coding and categorization. The results reveal that AVR has significant potential to improve academic performance and student engagement. However, economic, technical, pedagogical, and social barriers were identified that hinder its widespread adoption. The most effective strategies to overcome these challenges include collaborations with the technology industry, development of robust infrastructures, continuous training of teaching staff, awareness campaigns, and inclusion policies. It is concluded that, although AVR offers transformative opportunities for university education, its successful implementation requires a comprehensive approach that simultaneously addresses the multiple barriers identified.
