#virtualandaugmentedreality

Computer technology has changed massively over the years with end users getting more and more immersive and realistic experience. Virtual and augmented reality is also a part of the same revolution. A virtual reality (VR) refers to a computer-generated virtual reality (or virtual environment) in which a user can interact with it using specialized electronic devices like special headsets equipped with specialized sensors or gloves with electrodes. Augmented Reality (AR) describes the transformation of digital information into the visual experience of an active world, where the physical properties of the digital world are augmented by the human visual system.

One type of augmented reality uses a computer to augment the human mind perceiving the environment, either through an optical lens, screen, or any other form of sensory input. Another example is the use of digital photographs taken by a digital camera to overlay digital images in a live video experience. Virtual reality is a great source of learning about a variety of subjects. Many people have access to high-end technology at their disposal to create an environment that simulates the real world and allows them to see things from another point of view.
