AR VR

AR VR: Gaming, marketing, e-commerce, education, and many other industries stand to gain greatly from the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). With improved, three-dimensional images, both technologies are renowned for providing an enhanced experience that merges the real and virtual worlds. However, there are a few key differences between both of them. In this article, we will tell you what are the key differences in the two amazing technologies.

What is AR and VR?

Augmented Reality (AR)

A technology known as augmented reality (AR) blends virtual data with the physical world. It creates an augmented, interactive version of the real environment by utilising digital visual components, music, and other sensory stimulation.
AR makes use of technology tools like sensing, intelligent interaction, real-time tracking and registration, multimedia, and 3D modelling.

Virtual Reality (VR)

Users can interact with an environment created by a computer in virtual reality (VR). Virtual reality (VR) has applications in education, entertainment, and business.
VR creates an immersive illusion that the user is somewhere else using specialised technology and software, such as a VR headset or helmet. Sight, sound, and, in certain situations, touch can all be included in virtual reality. In certain studies, smell has even been incorporated.
The most sophisticated VR systems should stimulate all five senses, but the most basic ones should only be sound and visual.

Key differences between AR and VR

  • Whereas VR generates fully immersive virtual worlds, AR enhances the situation in real life.
  • VR is 75% virtual and 25% real, whereas AR is 25% virtual and 75% real.
  • Virtual reality requires a headgear device, however, augmented reality does not require one.
  • Users of AR technology interact with virtual things that are closer to them while remaining in contact with the actual world; users of VR technology, on the other hand, become fully immersed in a fully virtualized world and are cut off from the outside world.
