Deep dives
Virtual Reality (VR)
Virtual reality offers a full immersion experience where individuals interact entirely in a digital environment, using headsets like Metacrest. Users are visually and audibly surrounded by a 3D digital world without real-world distractions. Examples like the Dreamatorium highlight the complete digital immersion achievable in VR.
Augmented Reality (AR)
Augmented reality enhances the real world by overlaying digital content through devices like headsets or smartphones. Popular applications such as Pokemon Go demonstrate how digital elements interact with real-world surroundings. Snapchat filters and stargazing apps further display the blend of digital overlays with real environments in AR.
Mixed Reality (MR)
Mixed reality merges digital and real-world interactions, often using headsets to enhance the user experience. Environments like The Void create a blend where users can touch real-world objects that appear digitally. This immersive approach, seen in games or educational training like surgery simulations, showcases the unique fusion of digital and physical elements in mixed reality.
AR, VR and MR are taking over the digital landscape. Each has a specific part to play in extending our potentially mundane realities into the metaverse, but how do you differentiate between the three and how are they all being used differently?
