Augmented Reality vs. Virtual Reality
AR is an interactive experience that merges the physical world with computer-generated information. Digital information overlaps with real-world objects, altering one’s perspective on the real-world environment. On the other hand, VR replaces the real-world environment with a simulated one. The digital simulation can be close to the real-world or be completely different as it is portrayed through VR technology such as headsets.
