Augmented Reality basically operates and exists in the real world, adding layers of interactivity on top. On the other hand, Virtual Reality is a complete immersion in an entirely virtual environment. AR users can control their presence in the real world, whereas VR users are governed by the system. Virtual Reality needs a headset device, but Augmented Reality can be accessed with a smartphone. AR enhances the virtual and real worlds, while VR only enhances a fictional reality.
