AUGMENTED REALITY AND VIRTUAL REALITY
Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) bridge the digital and real worlds. Both these
technologies find the greatest use in entertainment, sports/gaming, close interactive eye to eye
communication and aided shopping experiences. Imagine sitting at home and browsing through
a store in London where you can see and feel the merchandise you wish to buy. This technology
is also used in education. Imagine being a live participant in a historical battle or a student of
anatomy in medical school. You can really feel the battle or touch the organs.
AUGMENTED REALITY
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes sounds, images and text on the
real-world that we can see. The virtual content is created by developers within applications and
is designed to blend seamlessly with the real-world content.
AR is used in:
creating an imaginary world for the purpose of entertainment and gaming, like, 3D movies,
video games, etc.
training software and people to work in real-life environments by creating a simulation of the
reality, such as, flight simulators for pilots.
Examples of AR experiences include Snapchat lenses and the game Pokemon Go. Disney coloring
book with AR has a character to colour.
