    Augmented Reality
                      Augmented Reality is a technology that superimposes sounds,                   Tech Fact
                      images and text on the real world that we can see. Images,            Augment means to make
                      information, content and interactive elements are created by          greater in size or amount.
                      developers within applications that blend in with content in the
                      real world.
                      AR is used in:

                         creating  an  imaginary  world for entertainment  and  gaming
                         purposes,  such as 3D  movies  and video  games,  is a common
                         practice.
                         training  software  and  helping  people  learn to  work in real-life
                         environments  by  creating a simulation  of reality.  For example,
                         flight simulators allow pilots to practice their skills in the condition
                         of danger without actual risk.                                             Augmented Reality
                                                              Examples of AR experiences include Snapchat lenses and the
                                                              game Pokemon Go. Disney colouring book with AR has a
                                                              character in the book to colour and the coloured characters
                                                              come  to  life on  a  3D screen.  The app  uses  the  camera  to
                                                              detect  the  character  that  was coloured  and recreates  the
                                  Colouring book
                                                              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  focused  on  the  work while receiving digital
                                                              information. It displays information on the user’s glass screen
                                                              through a small projector. It responds to voice commands to
                        Snapchat           Google Glass
                                                              activate an application at any given time.

                           Virtual Reality

                      Virtual  Reality 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 typically  wears VR  devices
                      such as  HTC  Vive or  Google Cardboard. These devices
                      have eye-covering headset and headphones to completely
                      replace  the  real world with  the  virtual  one.  Using  VR
                      Simulator devices, surgeons can develop their surgical skills
                      through  simulation  on  digital  patients  and  architects  can           Virtual Reality
                      create a walk-through model of their projects.

                           Examples of AR & VR Applications
                          Google Earth VR app lets you travel to any place on planet Earth and the moon.
