The app uses the camera to detect the character that was coloured and recreates the character
                 in a 3D form on the screen. Google Glass, created in 2013, is an example of wearable AR interface.
                 It helps the user remain focussed on the work. It displays information on the user’s glass screen
                 through a small projector. It responds to voice commands to activate an application at any time.

                 VIRTUAL REALITY

                 Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that creates a complete virtual world that users can interact
                 with. In this world, you can experience places as if you were actually there. While using virtual
                 reality, the user almost always wears VR devices such as HTC Vive or Google Cardboard. These
                 devices have eye-covering headset and headphones that fully immerse you in the virtual world,
                 blocking out the real one. Using VR Simulator devices, surgeons can develop their surgical skills
                 through simulation on digital patients and architects can create a walk-through model of their
                 projects.
