Virtual reality:

• Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appear
to be real, making the user feel they are immersed in their surroundings. This environment is
perceived through a device known as a Virtual Reality headset or helmet.

Augmented reality

Augmented reality (AR) is an experience where designers enhance parts of users' physical world with
computer-generated input. Designers create inputs—ranging from sound to video, to graphics to GPS
overlays and more—in digital content which responds in real time to changes in the user's environment,
typically movement.

WHAT IS METAVERSE:

• The word “metaverse” is originally from the 1992 sci-fi novel “Snow Crash”. Recently
Facebook brought the Metaverse to the mainstream by rebranding itself as “Meta”. The
Metaverse is not yet a concrete reality, while the vision of it is a 3D immersive world where
we will be spending a lot of time socializing, working, entertaining, learning, etc. It is the
combination of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), gaming,
cryptocurrencies, social media and much more.
