Virtual reality, or VR, is a simulated experience that replaces the world around us. This is usually achieved by the user wearing a headset which encapsulates their entire vision, allowing them to fully experience a virtual environment around them.
Augmented reality, or AR, is different from VR because it’s usually an overlay that enhances and/or reacts to the living world around us. Users don’t need a headset to experience AR as these overlays require a screen and a camera to operate and can be run on a mobile phone or tablet.
