What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented reality is the result of using technology to superimpose information — sounds, images and text — on the world we see. One of the most popular ways AR has infiltrated everyday life is through mobile games. The game allowed users to see Pokémon characters bouncing around in their own town. The goal was to capture these pocket monsters, then use them to battle others, locally, in AR gyms.

What is Virtual Reality?

Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds. With VR, you can go on virtual trips to foreign countries, natural wonders, museums, underwater, inside the human body or even outer space.
