    Study Notes

    Augmented and Virtual Reality Overview

    • Augmented Reality (AR) involves computerized techniques and simulations like animation, text to speech recognition, and handheld devices to overlay virtual objects over real-world environments.
    • Virtual Reality (VR) is a realistic and immersive simulation of a three-dimensional environment, created using interactive software and hardware, and experienced or controlled by the movement of the body.
    • Mixed Reality (MR) allows users to navigate through both real and virtual spaces simultaneously, combining aspects of both AR and VR.
    • Microsoft's Hololens is a self-contained holographic computer that enables users to interact with digital content around them.
    • AR adds virtual elements as an overlay to the real world, while VR offers a digital recreation of a real-life setting that completely covers and replaces the user's field of vision.
    • AR users can control their presence in the real world, while VR users are controlled by the system and mostly require a headset device.
    • MR is an enhanced form of AR, integrating virtual objects into and responsive to the real world, and capable of complex rendering demanding more processing power.
    • Sectors using AR/VR include video games, education, and healthcare, with potential applications in medicine, training, and education.
