Perhaps, one of the most common confusion surrounding Augmented Reality is how majority of people still cannot differ its difference from Virtual Reality – its counterpart that has been around for longer. If you are one of those people, you are in luck because we are bringing you the easiest way to determine which is which.
Let’s start with Virtual Reality, this invention has been around for much longer. Essentially, it is an artificial simulation that is generated by computer to recreate a real situation or life environment. It works by simultaneously immersing users and stimulating both their hearing and vision by making them feel as if they are actually experiencing the simulation firsthand. Now that we have had it cleared, let’s move onto the next one. Augmented Reality has positively thrilled every key player in the tech industry such as Tim Cook and Bill Gates, but what is it?
As it turns out, Augmented Reality is a new technology that serves as a computer-generated layers that work to enhance the existing reality – making it every bit more meaningful as it give users the ability to interact. In short, Virtual Reality works by providing the exact digital recreation whereas the Augmented Reality delivers layers of virtual elements to enhance the real world.
