Virtual Reality (VR)

Virtual Reality places you inside a computer-generated environment. A VR headset replaces your view of the physical world and tracks your movements, so the simulated world responds as if you were really there. The result is an immersive medium for games, training, design, and social spaces that no flat screen can match.

Augmented Reality (AR)

Augmented Reality layers digital information and imagery onto the real world. AR Glasses and smart glasses overlay data and rendered images onto physical objects and places, from heads-up directions to full mixed reality scenes that interact with the room around you.
