What is VR (Virtual reality)?
Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment that uses scenes and objects that appear real to give users a sense of immersion in their surroundings. This environment is perceived through a device called a virtual reality headset or helmet. With VR, you can immerse yourself in a video game as if you were one of your character's girlfriends, learn how to perform heart surgery, or improve the quality of your sports training to maximize performance.
What is AR (Augmented Reality)?
Augmented Reality (AR) often uses your smartphone's camera to add a digital element to your live view. Snapchat lenses and the game Pokemon Go are examples of augmented reality experiences.
