 WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)
1.Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated
experience that can be similar to or
completely different from the real world
 VirtualReality enables us to fully
immerse ourself in a computer-
simulated reality.
 One can experience being in an
environment different from the real
world
 Users are completely immersed in a
computer-generated reality
• A virtual reality headset is a head-mounted
device that provides virtual reality for the
wearer.
• They comprise a stereoscopic head-mounted
display (providing separate images for each
eye), stereo sound, and head motion
tracking sensors.
 When a user puts on a head-mounted
display or a VR headset, they sense
 Theirbrains believe—they are moving
among virtual objects on a screen.
 The LCD or OLED panels inside are refracted
 Completely fills our field of vision with whatever is being displayed.
 Can be a game, a 360-degree video, or just the virtual space of the platforms'
interfaces.
 Visually, you're taken to wherever the headset wants you to go
 The outside world is replaced with a virtual one.
VIRTUAL REALITY APPLICATIONS
 World of gaming and entertainment were early adopters
 VR applications are now used in engineering and construction, healthcare,
education, business and more.
 WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY (AR)
• Augmented reality (AR) is the real-time
use of information in the form of text,
graphics, audio, and other virtual
enhancements integrated with real-world
objects. “Augmented reality is the
rendering of digital images or data onto
real-world objects.
 Pokémon GO, Instagram puppy ears filter.
 Allow us to be in the present while having
 Virtual information added to the
experience in real-time.
 Enhances the real-world with images,
text, and other virtual information.
 AR displays can offer something as simple
as a data overlay
 It shows the time, to something as
complicated as holograms floating in the
middle of a room.
 AR apps only show up on your
smartphone or tablet screen
 Even the HoloLens can only project
images in a limited area in front of your
eyes.
 Phone-based AR software has been
recognizing surroundings
 Provides additional information about what it
sees
 Offers live translation of text or pop-up reviews
of restaurants as you look at them.
 Dedicated AR headsets like the HoloLens can
do even more
 Lets you virtually place different apps as
floating windows around you
 Gives modular multi-monitor computing setup.
AUGMENTED REALITY
APPLICATIONS
 Repair & Maintenance
 Design & Modeling
 Business Logistics
 Tourism Industry
 Classroom Education
 Field Service
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VR AND AR
 Virtual reality and augmented
reality accomplish two very different
things in two very different ways
 VR replaces reality, taking you
somewhere else.
 AR adds to reality, projecting
information on top of what you're
already seeing.
KEY BENEFITS
 Increase reach
 Improve efficiency
 Easy access
 Immediate Engagement
 Better Social Skills
 Deliver rich experiences
CONCLUSION
 Virtual reality (VR) implies a complete immersion experience that shuts out
the physical world.
 Augmented Reality (AR) adds digital elements to a live view often by using
the camera on a smartphone.
 Augmented, virtual and mixed reality are changing the way people work
and live.
