BACKGROUND

AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality) are three different virtual reality technologies that have different characteristics in how they interact with the real world. AR technology enhances the user's perception by overlaying virtual images, information, or scenes on top of the real world; the user can see the real-world environment and superimpose virtual elements on top of it, such as text, images. 3D VR technology places the user completely in the virtual world through devices such as enclosed head-mounted displays (HMDs); the user perceives and interacts with the virtual environment without having to perceive the real world. VR technology typically provides a highly immersive experience that can completely change the user's perception and experience. MR technology interacts virtual elements with the real world in real time, allowing the two to coexist in the same scene; the user can see and perceive the real world; users can see and perceive the real world and interact with virtual objects on it. MR technology provides a more integrated and interactive experience, blending virtual and reality more deeply than AR.
