AR/VR Development Solution

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are reality technologies that either enhance or replace a real-life environment with a simulated one. In this article, we give you a short brief of what AR and VR are, the differences between the two technologies, some examples, and a guess on what the future holds.

The primary value of AR is the manner in which components of the digital world blend into a person's perception of the real world, not as a simple display of data, but through the integration of sensations, which are perceived as natural parts of an environment. One of the greatest examples of AR technology is the popular mobile app Pokémon Go, which allows players to locate and capture Pokémon characters that appear in the real world.

Virtual Reality (VR) is a simulated experience when the world you’re standing in is replaced with a virtual one. This can be done with something as simple as a plastic holder you put your phone into, but these days most people prefer head-mounted displays. Virtual Reality has revolutionized the gaming and entertainment sectors by allowing users to immerse themselves in a highly simulated environment. Virtual reality is also a big player in the education sector- such as medical or military training- and business- such as virtual meetings.
