Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

Virtual reality (VR) uses headsets to fully immerse users in simulated, computer-generated environments, replacing the real world. Augmented reality (AR) enhances the real world by overlaying digital images and data onto the real environment in real-time, such as information displayed on smartphone screens. While VR replaces reality, AR adds to it. Both technologies are being applied in gaming, education, business, healthcare and more to increase engagement and improve efficiency.

WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)
1.Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated
experience that can be similar to or
completely different from the real world
 VirtualReality enables us to fully
immerse ourself in a computer-
simulated reality.
 One can experience being in an
environment different from the real
world
 Users are completely immersed in a
computer-generated reality
• A virtual reality headset is a head-mounted
device that provides virtual reality for the
wearer.
• They comprise a stereoscopic head-mounted
display (providing separate images for each
eye), stereo sound, and head motion
tracking sensors.
 When a user puts on a head-mounted
display or a VR headset, they sense
 Theirbrains believe—they are moving
among virtual objects on a screen.
 The LCD or OLED panels inside are refracted
 Completely fills our field of vision with whatever is being displayed.
 Can be a game, a 360-degree video, or just the virtual space of the platforms'
interfaces.
 Visually, you're taken to wherever the headset wants you to go
 The outside world is replaced with a virtual one.
VIRTUAL REALITY APPLICATIONS
 World of gaming and entertainment were early adopters
 VR applications are now used in engineering and construction, healthcare,
education, business and more.
WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY (AR)
• Augmented reality (AR) is the real-time
use of information in the form of text,
graphics, audio, and other virtual
enhancements integrated with real-world
objects. “Augmented reality is the
rendering of digital images or data onto
real-world objects.
 Pokémon GO, Instagram puppy ears filter.
 Allow us to be in the present while having
 Virtual information added to the
experience in real-time.
 Enhances the real-world with images,
text, and other virtual information.
 AR displays can offer something as simple
as a data overlay
 It shows the time, to something as
complicated as holograms floating in the
middle of a room.
 AR apps only show up on your
smartphone or tablet screen
 Even the HoloLens can only project
images in a limited area in front of your
eyes.
 Phone-based AR software has been
recognizing surroundings
 Provides additional information about what it
sees
 Offers live translation of text or pop-up reviews
of restaurants as you look at them.
 Dedicated AR headsets like the HoloLens can
do even more
 Lets you virtually place different apps as
floating windows around you
 Gives modular multi-monitor computing setup.
AUGMENTED REALITY
APPLICATIONS
 Repair & Maintenance
 Design & Modeling
 Business Logistics
 Tourism Industry
 Classroom Education
 Field Service
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VR AND AR
 Virtual reality and augmented
reality accomplish two very different
things in two very different ways
 VR replaces reality, taking you
somewhere else.
 AR adds to reality, projecting
information on top of what you're
already seeing.
KEY BENEFITS
 Increase reach
 Improve efficiency
 Easy access
 Immediate Engagement
 Better Social Skills
 Deliver rich experiences
CONCLUSION
 Virtual reality (VR) implies a complete immersion experience that shuts out
the physical world.
 Augmented Reality (AR) adds digital elements to a live view often by using
the camera on a smartphone.
 Augmented, virtual and mixed reality are changing the way people work
and live.
