The Augmented Reality Vs Virtual Reality Case Study You'll Never Forget!

 

There are two latest trending technologies that can change the way you look at the world that is augmented reality and virtual reality the terms can be confusing sometimes people think augmented reality and virtual reality are the same thing.

 

Today we will make it clear first let's understand what augmented reality retailer is created an application that helps shoppers to visualize how certain product will look like in their home before they purchase them. The app overlays virtual version of the product onto the real-life images of customer living space.

So, customer can have a look how it is suitable to their home also you all are well known about snapchat application in snapchat you can add digital content such as additional noise ears text and 3d images on your real-time images these two are just example of AR application we can say in argument reality application. A digital layer is super embossed on the real physical world, and it mix real world with virtual world to enhance user experience in short, we can say that real world plus virtual world is augmented reality.

Now let us discuss what is “virtual reality” just imagine if you want to feel like you are walking on hillside moon or you are seeming under sea using VR applications you can move to enter virtual world and you can feel like you exist in that virtual world in short we can define virtual reality is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment and make you feel like you exist in that environment. It is done by simulating as many senses as possible such as vision, hearing, touch, vibration, even smell.

 

Now let us see brief history of “Augmented Reality” and virtual reality in 1968, a Harvard professor and computer scientist Mr. Evan Sutherland created first head mounted display called “the sword of democracy” with this device a user experienced computer-generated graphics that Enhanced their sensory perception of the world in 1990 a buying researcher Mr. Tom Coddle first coined the term augmented reality.

 

Now let us see brief history of virtual reality in 1957 virtual reality was first achieved to some extent by a cinematographer Mr Morton Helic he created a device sensorama it is a first virtual reality machine it combined multiple technologies to create all of the sensors there was combined full color 3d video audio vibrations smell an atmospheric effect such as white later in 1987 a computer scientist researcher and artist Mr John Lanier first time coined the term virtual reality.

 

Now let us summarize the difference between augmented reality and virtual reality in argumentative reality a digital layer is superimposed on the real physical world in virtual reality computer technology is used to create a simulated virtual world in AR it is a mix of real world and virtual world in VR it creates entire virtual world in air a user can clearly differentiate between real world and virtual world in VR for a user it is hard to differentiate what is real and what is virtual in air user is not cut off from the real world in VR user is completely immersed in artificial world he is cut off from the real world in air it only require AR compatible smart devices such as smartphone tablet laptop smart lenses etc. in VR it requires head mounted devices or additional equipment to get fully immersed in virtual experience these are the basic difference between augmented finally.

 

Let us discuss a few applications of AR and VR.

The first application is healthcare industry these two technologies are commonly used in healthcare industry by doctors and medical technicians.

 

The second application is military training. These technologies are used for military training in virtual environments and creating virtual works.

 

The third application is education augmented reality and virtual reality is used for education purpose it will give better understanding for students.

 

The fourth application is a retail and e-commerce industry these two technologies are used in e commerce and retail industry for enhancing customer experience and visualizing product before they purchase.

 

Fifth application is travel and tourism travelers can explore different places and details of that places using these two technologies even before they travel.

 

The sixth application is manufacturing industry augmented reality and virtual reality used in manufacturing industry for increasing efficiency and productivity of factories.

 

The seventh application is gaming and entertainment industry we all know that these two technologies are nowadays common in gaming and entertainment industries.
