The document discusses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). VR fully immerses users in a simulated environment. AR superimposes computer images on the real world. MR is similar to AR but can interact with the real environment. Current applications of these technologies include education, architecture, remote collaboration, and technical support. While costs remain high and content is still emerging, significant investment is being made in these areas.

2. Virtual Reality (VR)
 Fully immersed – you do not see the real world around
you
 Completely simulated environment where you are taken to
a different place – perhaps a different time!
 You can control what you’re looking at and where you’re
going

3. • Still emerging / developing
• Can be expensive
• Can make some people feel
nauseous
• More content and experiences are
needed
• But $millions$ being poured into VR
by companies with deep pockets
• We’re just getting started!

6. • Very useful in education
• Visit ancient Rome for example
• Or virtually visit a museum

9. • Also very useful in
architecture and in the
construction industry
• Can better design and
envision a space

12. • New tools continue to be
developed that help people use
VR to be creative

13. Augmented Reality (VR)
 Unlike in VR, you can see the real world around you, but with graphic overlays, 3D models, and
videos on it
 AR superimposes computer-generated images on a user's view of the real world

17. Augmented Reality (AR)
 Applications in technical support and in troubleshooting
 Fixing engines, elevators, and more
 Even bring in remote experts
 More educationally-related applications to arrive as AR goes mainstream

20. Mixed Reality (MR)
 Very similar to AR, but a device can scan the
real-world environment around you and can
interact with that environment
 Additional technologies and affordances are
involved
 Best example is Microsoft’s HoloLens device

25. Mixed Reality (MR)
 Microsoft is working with
Case Western Reserve U.
and the Cleveland Clinic
 Developing new ways to
learn about human
anatomy

26. Billy Nguyen | May 2019

27. Mixed Reality (MR)
 Also useful in technical
support, troubleshooting,
fixing things
 Can bring in remote experts
 More educationally-related
applications to arrive as MR
goes mainstream
