Now, you may wonder, how augmented reality and virtual reality are different. The answer is simple: AR inserts digital objects into the image of the real environment, while VR creates a completely digital environment and transports you there with the help of devices like VR glasses.
VR headsets completely take over your vision, giving you the feeling of being somewhere else. When you put on headsets like the PlayStation VR 2, Meta Quest 2, or Valve Index, they block out your surroundings. When you turn them on, the lenses break the screens inside them and fill your field of vision with what's being shown. This could be a game, a 360-degree video, or simply the virtual platform's interface. In the visual sense, you're transported into the virtual world, and the real world disappears—hence the name.
