This document discusses and compares augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality. It defines AR as combining digital and real elements by reflecting digital content in the real world using cameras and sensors. VR creates an immersive simulated experience using headsets. AR enhances the real world with digital overlays, while VR replaces the real world. Mixed reality blends AR and VR by enabling interaction with virtual content in the real world without screens.

Virtual Reality

REALITY

3. What is Augmented Reality?
Augmented Reality (AR) combines the digital world
with real elements. It is a technology that is equally
suitable for mobile devices and desktops. What
makes it special is the fact that it offers the
possibility of reflecting digital components in the
real world.

4. One difference between VR and AR is that AR displays
different content in the real world. Computer vision, depth
tracking and mapping play a key role within this process. All
data can be collected in real time via cameras, for example,
and processed directly. This makes it possible to display digital
content whenever the user needs it.
Special devices are required to fully use the functionality of AR.
Smart Glasses, for example, are often used, which provide the
data via Smart Glasses software.
How does Augmented Reality Works?

6. Advantages of Augmented Reality
1. Enhanced Experience
2. AR will be Easy to Use
3. Supports Business Activities
4. Educational Advantages of Augmented Reality
5. Improved Technology

7. Disadvantages of Augmented Reality
● The costs of implementing AR are comparatively high.
● Many devices have only a low level of performance.
● A key disadvantage is the lack of user privacy.
● If the focus on security is neglected, the introduction of
augmented reality can lead to a security breach.
● Addiction and Fatalities are major disadvantages of AR

8. Applications of Augmented
Reality
1. AR in the Medical Field
2. AR in Your Mobiles
3. AR is Mixing Up Well with the
Entertainment Industry
4. AR is Open for Travel ‘N’
Tourism

10. VIRTUAL
REALITY

11. What is Virtual Reality?
Virtual Reality(VR) is a simulated experience that
employs pose tracking and 3D near-eye displays to
give the user an immersive feel of a virtual world.
Applications of virtual reality include
entertainment(particularly video games), education
and business.

12. How does Virtual Reality works?
The focus of VR is to simulate a new reality. By
using a VR screen, the user can perceive and interact
in the digital world. This requires two lenses between
the user and the screen. They interpret the movement
of the eyes and adapt the individual movement to the
VR. Therefore, in this case, extensive hardware is
necessary to isolate the user from the real world.

13. Advantages of Virtual Reality
1. Virtual reality helps in exploring places without actually being there
2. It creates a realistic world
3. Increases interest and engagement toward a subject
4. Help in providing training
5. The education system has been improved

14. Disadvantages of Virtual Reality
1. Implementation is expensive
2. Only develop technical skills no interaction is there
3. Technology is complex
4. Addiction to Virtual Reality
5. Impact on the real human body
6. Psychological damage

15. Applications of Virtual Reality
● In the military, this technology is used in flight simulators
or battlefield simulations.
● In sports, digital training devices help athletes improve
their own performance and analyze their techniques
● In medicine, VR allows trainee doctors to train surgical
techniques.
● In the Entertainment Industry

17. Augmented or Virtual Reality? A direct
comparison of the two technologies
1. VR creates an immersive virtual environment, while AR augments a real-
world scene.
2. VR is 75 percent virtual, while AR is only 25 percent virtual.
3. VR requires a headset device, while AR does not.
4. VR users move in a completely fictional world, while AR users are in
contact with the real world.
5. AR is intended to enhance the virtual world and the real world. VR
replaces the real world with a fictional reality, which is primarily
intended to enhance games.

19. Mixed Reality
The perfect cross between AR and VR is the so-called mixed
reality. This technology is expected to become mainstream for
consumers and businesses soon. It’s based on enabling
instinctive interaction with data, while eliminating screen-
based work. Instead, handheld devices can take over these
stationary device tasks. The clear advantage is that it will be
easier to target centralized data anywhere and anytime.
