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
                              Colouring book              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
                                                          while receiving digital information. It displays information
                    Snapchat           Google Glass       on the user’s glass screen through a small projector. It
                  responds to voice commands to 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
                                                                                             Virtual Reality
                  surgical skills through simulation on digital patients and
                  architects can 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.
                       IKEA app allows you to envision furniture in your own home, by overlaying a 3D representation
                     in your room.

                       YouCam Makeup app lets you virtually try on real-life cosmetics on a selfie.

                       Matterport is a 3D media platform that allows easy creation of 3D Models and interactive 3D
                     walkthroughs of any real-world place.
