Augmented Reality (AR)
The fundamental idea of AR is to
combine, or mix, the view of the
real environment with additional,
virtual content that is presented
through computer graphics.
As a person moves in an environment and
their perspective view of real objects
changes, the virtual content should also
be presented from the same perspective.
Augmented reality (AR) is a form of
emerging technology that allows users
to overlay computer generated content

Augmented Reality refers to a live view
of a physical real-world environment
whose elements are merged with
augmented computer-generated images
creating a mixed reality.
The augmentation is typically done in real-
time and in semantic context with
environmental elements.

direct or indirect view of a physical
real-world environment that has been
enhanced by adding Virtual

Virtual Reality (VR)
 Virtual Reality (VR) is fully immersive,
which tricks your senses into thinking
you’re in a different environment or world
apart from the real world.
 The most advanced VR experiences
even provide freedom of movement.
Moreover, special hand controllers can be
used to enhance VR experiences
 It is also called a computer-simulated
reality.

 VR refers to computer technologies using
reality headsets to generate realistic
sounds, images and other feelings that
replicate (duplicate, photocopy) a real
environment or create an imaginary
world.
 Advanced VR environment will
engage(involve) all five senses (taste,
sight, smell, touch, sound) .

Mixed Reality (MR)
 Mixed Reality (MR), sometimes referred
to as hybrid reality, is the merging of
real and virtual worlds to produce new
environments and visualizations where
physical and digital objects co-exist
and interact in real-time.
 The key characteristic of MR is that the
artificial (synthetic) content and the
real-world content are able to react to
each other in real-time.
 It provides the ability to have one foot (or
hand) in the real world, and the other in

MR allows you to see and immerse yourself
in the world around you even as you interact
with a virtual environment using your own
hands all without ever removing your
headset.

 Head-Mounted Display (HMD) are currently
the dominant display technology in the AR
field.
 However, they lack in several aspects, such
as ergonomics, high prices and relatively low
mobility due to their sizes and connectivity
features.
 An additional problem involving HMD is the
interaction with the real environment, which
places virtual interactive zones to the user,
making the collision with these zones hard
due to the difficulty to interact with multiple
points in different depths
