Augmented Reality v/s Virtual Reality

The rapid advancement in technology and high-speed communication emerges AR (Augmented reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) as next-gen display platforms for deeper human-digital interactions.?

VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented reality) are emerging technologies and have exciting potential in the future of gaming, entertainment, e-commerce, education, marketing, and many other sectors. Both technologies are different but connected to each other bringing a virtual world and enhancing the real world. According to recent research by a leading company, almost 90% of companies that have annual revenues above $100 million are now implementing virtual or augmented reality.?

However it is easy to mix up these two terms, but there are some significant differences:

Let's have an eye on:?

AR:? A quick overview

AR creates an enhanced real-life experience with almost 30% of virtuality with virtual pictures, colors, and characters through a phone's camera or video viewer. It doesn’t require any headset device to access AR. You can access Augmented reality on your smartphone. Thus it is more efficient than VR as a gaming tool and branding.?

VR: A quick overview

VR takes you to a completely functional world by producing an entirely virtual environment with computer-generated simulation.? These simulations can build any visual or place imaginable for the users using special devices like computers, sensors, headsets, and gloves.?

Let's understand how AR and VR differentiate each other :

1. AR uses the real-world setting while VR is completely virtual.
2. AR users can control their presence in the real world, while VR users are controlled by the system.?
3. We can access AR with a smartphone while VR requires a headset device to be accessed.
4. AR enhances both the real world and the virtual world while VR only enhances functional reality.?
