As we know that VR and AR are great ways by which technology has enhanced the way we see the world. Both terms are a bit confusing, with some people thinking that they are the same. This is why on our VR blog, we would be looking at the difference between VR and AR. First, we must understand what VR stands for and what AR stands for.

AR known as Augmented Reality is defined as an enhanced version of reality created by the use of technology to include digital information to an image. Augmented reality is seen in apps of smartphones and tabs. The AR apps make use of your phone’s camera to display the real world in front of you with layers of information that includes text or images. There are plenty of games and apps that make use of AR. Most apps make use of AR for the fun. An example of such an app is the Layar app.

VR known as Virtual Reality is the use of technology to produce a simulated environment. When making use of VR, VR gives you completely different reality from the one you are present. The best part of VR is that you can move up, down, and sides of the environment you are in. VR is an artificial reality that is either photographed or an actual place put into a virtual reality app. Virtual Reality allows you to explore places you have never been to before. You can view virtual reality through a special VR viewer example includes Oculus Rift. You can use your phones, VR apps such as google cardboard or Daydream View.
