In VR, everything is created digitally or it can also include 360 degree footages of natural
                 environments or a mix of both. You experience something, without really experiencing it.
                 VR allows the user to experience the virtual world using different gadgets and sounds. VR also
                 uses 3D sounds to make the experience more real.


                 Hardware requirements for VR

                 The  hardware  requirement  for  Virtual  Reality  is  Head  Mounted  Displays,  such  as  Google
                 Cardboard or HTC Vive which provide realistic experience.

                 AR

                 AR stands for Augmented Reality. It adds digital elements to a live
                 view often by using the camera on a smartphone. For example,
                 Augmented reality experiences include Snapchat lenses, Google
                 Translate and the game Pokémon Go.

                 Hardware requirement of experiencing Augmented Reality

                 A  computer,  memory  1GB  free  memory,  Windows  7  and  above,  dedicated  graphics  card,
                 webcam or a Smartphone with AR dedicated App.
                 Examples of AR in real life

                 a.  Pokémon Go: It is probably the biggest AR-driven app. In this game you walk around the
                    real-world, but with a computer graphics laid over the top. When you catch a Pokémon, it is
                    actually through your device camera while you are looking at it. In the game the Poké stops
                    are the real-world landmarks depicted on the map.

                 b.  Retail Shops: Retailer IKEA created an AR app that helps shoppers visualise what certain
                    products will look like in their home before they purchase them.
                      Thus we can say that Augmented reality is simply a combination of virtual reality and actual

                    reality.
