AR,VR & MR

AR is used in various industries, including gaming, education, healthcare, retail, and navigation. Examples include AR games, interactive educational experiences, medical simulations, and AR-assisted navigation.

While AR overlays digital content onto the real world, Virtual Reality (VR) completely immerses users in a simulated environment, blocking out the real world entirely.

AR is supported on smartphones and tablets through apps, as well as on dedicated AR glasses like Microsoft HoloLens and smart glasses from companies like Google and Apple.

VR is used for gaming, entertainment, training simulations, architectural visualization, and therapy. It allows users to explore new worlds, practice skills, and experience scenarios that might not be possible in real life.

VR faces challenges such as motion sickness, the need for powerful hardware, and the potential for isolation from the real world during extended use.

MR is used for tasks that involve spatial understanding, such as design and architecture, medical visualization, and collaborative work scenarios where virtual objects need to interact with physical objects.

While AR overlays digital content onto the real world, MR merges digital content and the real world in a way that allows them to interact with each other.

Challenges of MR include creating convincing and seamless interactions between real and virtual objects and ensuring that the virtual elements align correctly with the user’s perspective.
