VR/AR Environments 

Virtual Reality is a technology that helps create an immersive digital environment that people can interact with using a headset. It replicates a physical environment by allowing users to interact through a computer-generated experience. VR headsets comprise display screens, sound, sensors, and controllers. They have two LCDs in front of each eye, which generate the visual output of what users see while using the headset. Surprisingly, VR can replicate the sound of the natural environment. The sensors are used to track body movements and hand gestures to make users feel as if they are physically present in the environment. The controllers include haptic feedback, giving users a realistic feeling of interacting with different objects. 

Augmented reality allows for an interactive experience by combining the real world with digital content. I do not believe AR is as sophisticated as VR; it simply adds virtual elements to the user’s environment. For example, Pokémon Go is an AR game that overlays digital characters like Pokémon onto the real world through your camera. Players can engage with the characters through the app as if they were physically beside them. AR is more accessible to individuals as it can be used with almost any device. VR typically requires hardware or software, which yields a higher price tag.
