What are we even talking about?
VR (Virtual Reality) & AR (Augmented Reality) are two ways that tech can change the way you see the world around you.VR is “the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment.” Meaning you are transported to an entirely new wholly digital world which has nothing to do with reality. The people, looking like some strange versions of Robocop, wearing tech helms, covering their eyes, these are the people who use VR!
On the other hand, AR is not some kind of competitor to VR. They’re in fact interconnected, and in the core, they both have two similar techs, but there’re some crucial differences. AR is an “enhanced version of reality” that overlays digital elements onto the real world. It uses the environment around us and builds on it.
That’s not a big thing!
Let me be honest, the first time I encountered VR & AR, I wasn’t impressed at all. I thought they’re far from practical and are created just for the sake of presenting something new. I didn’t believe they would’ve been able to change the world by a bit. Until I made my research …I was blown away by the ways they’ve already been implemented all around us. And after I started thinking about all the possibilities they’re unlocking, I immediately wanted to make all my projects connected to VR or AR. Today they’re all around us more than we think. Let me present to you just some of the things these miraculous technologies have already changed irrevocably.
