There are three main types of digital realities. These are:
Augmented reality (AR) – virtual information (text, images, objects) is overlaid on real-world settings. AR is commonly used in phone apps and can be accessed using AR glasses or smart devices (phones or tablets). App filters are an example of AR application in the real world.
Virtual reality (VR) – delivers an immersive experience by creating a digital environment. A VR experience can be accessed using VR headsets and is commonly used for training and education in various industries.
Mixed reality (MR) – Also known as hybrid reality, MR blends digital elements and their real-world counterparts in such a way that allows users to interact with the digital elements. To experience MR, you need an MR headset or a smartphone camera.
